Richard and Angela are back with another stock market reality check. As investors, many of us know that the stock market fluctuates daily. That’s just what it does. It can be a hard thing to wrap your head around when you have a well-diversified portfolio, and all you see is red – the charts show downtrends, and the news is screaming at you. First things first, turn off the dang news and stop following the trends. It’s a beautiful thing to have that diverse portfolio under your belt, especially when things turn around and all you see is green, literally, because you’ll end up coming out on top.
So, if you’re someone who is always anxious about the constant up and down or just can’t take the investment heat, it’s time to grab your headphones and find a quiet spot. We promise you will feel A LOT better when you hear what we have to say. It’s time to stop losing money, so let’s get started!
