Taking Emotions Out Of Investing
During this period of market turbulence, many self-
guided investors are letting their emotions drive their
investment decisions. As a result, they sell investments
when their price is down, “locking in” their losses.
Furthermore, if they then stay out of the financial markets,
they will miss out on the eventual recovery – and some

Understanding The History Of Investing
The recent market instability is unique in the sense
that its cause – a worldwide pandemic – is so highly
unusual, and it hopefully will be a once-in-a-lifetime
experience. Typically, prolonged market downturns are
triggered by explainable financial or economic factors,
such as the bursting of the “dot-com” bubble in 2000.
However, market drops of 20 percent or more – generally
referred to as bear markets – are not at all unusual and
have happened every few years over the past several
decades. Financial advisors are well aware of this history
and share it with their clients. And for many people, the
knowledge that “we’ve been here before” is reassuring
and makes it easier for them to continue following their
investment strategies.
The road to your financial goals is a long one, with
many twists and turns. So you might like to have some
experienced company along the way.
