Have a long-term strategy whether the markets are down or up. The markets get to be on the rise when investors keep buying into it, and is termed a bull market. When they start selling – for a variety of reasons, mostly due to panic – the markets start coming down, and is termed a bear market. What do you do when the markets are down? Well! whatever investors do in a bull market, they should continue to take similar steps in a bear market – be consistent in your strategy and don’t panic.
Consult your financial adviser to see how these strategies might help you:
-
Diversify…
You need a broad mix of stocks, bonds, and cash.
-
Protect future cash flow…
If you think you need cash in the next year, put some money in savings and money market, even if the return is presently dismal.
-
Stay consistent but flexible when need be…
Price of gold is in the stratosphere. If you had invested in gold a few years ago, it would have given you a super-duper return. But don’t tie up all your money in supposedly crash-proof gold or deferred annuity.
-
Cut investment expenses…
You can own a diversified portfolio with low-cost index funds. Index funds offer extremely low costs, and low tax turnover, making them a great choice for many investors.
-
Save more…
Review your portfolio. If it isn’t growing fast enough to your satisfaction, one of the magics to apply is to save more.
-
Change priorities as you age…
Your true investment strategy must be based on your life expectancy, and not on your retirement date. If you have a long-term strategy for investment, stick to it. You won’t lose sleep over the market’s inevitable ups and downs.
In a Nutshell
Have a long-term strategy. Don’t panic when the markets are coming down.
