The Little Lightbulbs Show

The recent market volatility has no doubt caused increased stress and anxiety among investors. That alone is enough to lead someone to make a mistake. Add disruptions in our daily lives caused by the coronavirus pandemic and people are even more likely to make bad choices! Will this be you? There is something you can do to help avoid making an emotional, snap decision that can hurt your portfolio — both before and during bouts of panic.

To be a successful long-term investor, success is dependent largely on the battle that takes place in the investor’s mind. It’s a battle between two strong yet separate beliefs about the outlook of the world: Fear of the future, or faith in the future. You wanna know the secret? It’s FAITH in the future.

It’s constant rumination and stress, and then making snap decisions in that state of mind. Yet, the more an investor gives in to the fads or fears of the moment – chasing what’s hot and avoiding what’s not – the more the investor loses sight of their long-term financial goals.
