Did you know that most investors that chase highs or bail out of investments to avoid market downturns do 2/3rds worse than if they just left their investments alone? There is a gap between what their emotions tell them is the best strategy and what turns out to be reality. When we make choices based on strong emotions or what the crowd is doing, we tend to chase big gains, bail out during downturns, or under diversify our accounts. We do the wrong things at the wrong time and undermine our own potential for success. I help my clients make educated investment decisions, and frequently my advice is to just leave things alone. 2/3rds can be a significant amount of money. Don’t miss out on it just because of some feelings. As an advisor, I can help you develop a plan and stick to it. If you’d like to learn more, please check out the rest of my blog where you’ll find more videos like this, and contact me. We can talk more about what you can do to help avoid missing out on your 2/3rds.”
