Dealing with Market Downturns
Have you ever felt that sinking feeling when the market is in a nosedive?
Don't worry; you're not alone.
Market downturns are as natural as the changing of seasons.
But it's your strategy during these tough times that determines your long-term profitability.
The Common Mistakes
When the market turns red, people make all sorts of mistakes:
Panic Selling: Selling off assets out of fear, thereby confirming losses
Herd Mentality: Following the crowd instead of sticking to a well-planned strategy.
The Smart Moves.
Calm Assessment: Take a deep breath and evaluate the reasons behind the downturn.
Dollar-Cost Averaging: This strategy involves buying assets at regular intervals, regardless of their price, to reduce the impact of volatility.
Reallocation: Use this time to rebalance your portfolio, selling underperforming assets and buying more of the discounted ones.
