Investing During the Rough Times 

When the markets are rough, and every bit of news seems to be negative it is easy to think in the short term.  What is my portfolio doing today?  What news is happening right now that I need to know about?   Do I need to make changes to my portfolio or lifestyle? 

As events unfold, we created a short YouTube video to help.  It will remind you of a few ideas to help you during rough market times.  

One part I want to highlight is remembering your long-term plans and goals.  Each time we invest money in the market we always ask, what is the purpose of these funds.   What is their main goal?  Is it for a retirement income many years down the road, or maybe to fund a vacation next year.  

Each one of these goals are different and are treated differently.  You may have only one account but there are various pieces that make up your portfolio.   All geared to accomplish different goals.  That is why your goals, more often than the news of the day, will drive if changes need to be made to your portfolio.   

We are long term investors and have seen many bumps in the past and will see many more in the years to come.  Own quality, remember your goals and plans, and go on enjoying your life.   

If you or someone you care about has questions, please reach out!  We appreciate you, your families, and your business!

 

Cheers,
