Financial markets are volatile… it’s the nature of the beast when there are so many dollars, traders, brokers, and investors involved. We’ve all heard that time-tested adage, “What goes up must come down.” But what happens when those tall peaks turn into deep wells? It’s more than just a graph showing market movements; it’s also your money. Look at this brochure from Franklin Templeton, Learning from the Lessons of Time, which contains data about market ups and downs over the past 40 years and some of the world events and headlines that contributed to them. As you’ll see, the data shows us that staying invested tends to generate better outcomes than cashing out or trying to time market swings. It can be tempting to succumb to emotion and fear when the market tanks, especially during times of instability and uncertainty. But that’s why we’re working together to fortify your financial future: through sophisticated modeling, advanced technology, top-tier market resources, and a wealth of experience, we have the know-how and the strategies designed to help mitigate the impact. The market never stops moving, so let’s make a point to connect soon if you have questions or concerns. |
