A brief list of things that I don’t know – and no one really knows
A brief history of bear markets
A few things we do know:
- Focus on the overlap of things we can control and things that matter
- Remember the cyclical nature of markets – buy/greed, fear/sell is what too many people do. If people are getting out now, they then need to know also when to get back in.
- It’s okay to feel the fear – just don’t get paralyzed by it
A good read I came across this morning:
Irrelevant Investor – Everybody’s Talking About It
Behavior Gap sketches referenced
A partial list of things to do that are better than watching the markets and your portfolios:
- Take a walk
- Hang out with your kids
- Read a book
- Drink a delicious cup of coffee in the middle of the day
- Wash your car, slowly
- Go for a drive
- Go play golf
- Go watch a sunset
- Stop checking social media
- Take a nap
Look – it IS scary. And there’s a lot we don’t know. But I am being professionally candid and telling you that the best thing we can do right now is to hold the course.
As always – I’m available. Never hesitate to reach out if you need to chat about your personal situation.
Gratefully,
