Stay on Track in a Volatile Market

Some people try to time the market. They may react to its fluctuations with confusion and anxiety. Should I buy or sell? Move into bond funds or invest more in stock funds? Hibernate with the bears or run with the bulls? Here are a few suggestions to help keep you from getting caught unprepared in a volatile market.

Use positive reinforcement: Keep reminding yourself that you invest based on intelligent decision-making, not as a knee-jerk reaction to short-term market changes.

Map out your goals and understand your risk tolerance: Select quality investments that reflect your objectives, whether you’re a conservative, middle of the road, or aggressive investor.

Stay still: Don’t flinch in the face of downturn. A common mistake of many investors is to hang tough part way through a market correction, then turn and run!

Diversify for safety: Balance helps you achieve long-term objectives during uncertain economic times. A well-diversified portfolio can remain fairly steady.

Dollar-cost average: Use automatic deposit or write a check each month. It may reduce your average cost per share in a fluctuating market.

Get good advice: Whether you are an independent investor or working with a PrimeVest Investment Executive, use the professional advice at hand to help identify objectives and select the right mix of investments.
