Talking Volatility: Magnitude vs. Percentage
Unfortunately, as human beings, we are prone to behavioral tendencies and mental shortcuts that do not always work in our favor.
In times of market turmoil, we at Shore Point Advisors suggest that our clients utilize a philosophy to control what they can control. Rather than trying to react to market mood swings by switching up your investments, below are 16 actions that can be taken instead. Each is within your control, and any of them can add real value to your financial well-being. As the late, great financial economist Peter L. Bernstein once said, “it’s not your wealth today, but it’s your future that you’re really managing.”
Preserve
Protect
Prepare
Simplify
Learn
Delegate
That last point is exactly why we founded Shore Point Advisors. Managing your investment portfolio through thick and thin is part of it. But our greater goal is to help you oversee all the variables we can control in your financial journey. In so doing, we’re also preparing you to move more smoothly past the market’s inevitable – and uncontrollable – rough spots.
