It is important to have a clear strategy for managing the market’s ever-unfolding uncertainties, staying focused on the right processes, the right tools, and the right mindset to guide you toward your goals. Your investment strategy is one you can apply with confidence through thick and thin. Investors are otherwise too often moved by volatile markets, veering off-course to chase skyrocketing trends or flee sickening drops, forever second-guessing themselves and “starting over” whenever current events test or tempt their resolve. Larry Swedroe reminds us about the danger of focusing on media headlines and those who think they can predict the future.
