investment planning

Can short-term market swings affect your financial goals? What can you do to play defence against stock market fluctuations? Don't put all your eggs in one basket

Long term investors will experience short term market fluctuations over their lifetime, sometimes quite severe, and it is very understandable in those times to feel nervous and tempted to switch invested assets to avoid losses. This can be a very dangerous strategy as you should be looking at the longer term bigger picture instead

Life is full of trade-offs. The same applies to investing. Compound interest and short term pain is another trade off. However, a clear and well defined financial planning strategy based on specific time frame will help you avoid all the pitfalls of emotional investing by remaining focused on your goals
