Things to remember during market volatility:
1. Don't Panic.
Remember that every down market in history has recovered.
2. It's not about TIMING the market it's about TIME IN the market.
For long term investments just remember that the funds you selected were meant to be long term so fluctuations in the market are very normal and you can expect them to recover long term.
3. Dollar Cost Average 💸
You want to grow your money? Remember that contributing on a monthly basis makes you the most money. And yes that means when the markets are down (you're buying on sale!)
4. Selling is the only way you truly lose money.
If you panic sell, then you are materializing your losses. If you simply leave it in your portfolio and allow it time to recover you will see fluctuations daily. If you're in individual stocks, talk to a stock broker before you make any moves.
5. Talk to your advisor.
If you have any questions about your investments and what they are doing, talk to a professional. Advisors will have the answers to your questions and concerns.
