Q: The market has been very scary this year. What are some ideas to weather the storm?
A: Remember, you are invested for the long-term, so try not to let the short-term ups and downs prevent you from realizing your long-term financial goals.
Your goals won’t change, but the market will. Market disruptions are a fact of life. Here’s a quote we love from Capital Group/American Funds, “Over time, and in time, the financial markets have demonstrated a remarkable ability to anticipate a better tomorrow even when today’s news feels so bad.” To avoid market anxiety, don’t look at your account every day, turn off the noise, constantly remind yourself you are in it for the long haul, and over the long-term, investors make money.
