Market Volatility And The Long Term Investor
Thursday, November 20, 2008 |
||
|
Few things are more upsetting to investors than a
serious bout of stock market volatility. At such times, it’s easy to lose
confidence in your longterm investment strategy. It may seem like a good idea to get out of the stock market and put your money into something safe, like a money market fund. But the real danger facing investors in such times isn’t the risk stock prices might fall further. The real danger is doing something impulsive that you’ll regret later. More than ever, investors need to keep a clear head and a cool hand when the market turns volatile. It’s not the right time to make hasty decisions, which could result in unnecessary investment losses. Karen Varnhagen, Senior Vice President-Wealth Management, Citi SmithBarney, will talk about both the risks and the opportunities investors face in the stock market. As you’ll see, past experience suggests that investors who keep their courage -- and their wits -- about them when market conditions are bad are most likely to avoid serious financial damage, and most likely to benefit when the market recovers.
