SIMPLE THINGS TO REMEMBER REGARDING MARKET VOLATILITY

Volatility brings opportunity
Keep your eyes open for opportunities!

The following is worth pondering….

Market volatility offers many opportunities – Be patient and watch for opportunities.

Too much concern over risks limits opportunities – know your priorities and take calculated risks

Volatility is a natural market condition – if you can’t act rationally, don’t get in the market

“The stock market is a device to transfer money from the impatient to the patient.” Warren Buffet

Short-term forecasts are speculations based on mathematical calculations trying to read the minds and predict the behavior of a multitude of unknown investors.

New media economists sensationalize market volatility to sell the news not put money in YOUR pocket.

Invest for abundance not greed.

Forget about timing the market – most lose more trying to time the market than weathering the correction, and they never get their time back. What is your time worth? Don’t forget that!

Fear is contagious – know what you are invested in and why!

Have courage – market corrections are steep and quick, yet ultimately growth overtakes the corrections over time.

Only you know how much volatility you can handle – communicate this with your advisor! And lastly, I thought I would close with this quote from Warren Buffet:

“We don’t have to be smarter than the rest. We have to be more disciplined than the rest.”
