Here Comes The Down Market - How To Keep Your Emotions In Check?

Critical Thinking Required

2022 has been a crazy volatile year for the stock market. In the US, the S&P 500 index is down more than 20% year-to-date. Considering the fact that the index had a positive 26.61% annual return for 2021, this certainly has been a roller coaster. In this episode, Nathaniel and Kennidy discussed the emotions of an investor. We had clients pressuring us to buy trendy tech companies at the end of 2021 when they were at historical highs; we also have clients begging us to sell everything when we entered the bear market. What do we do? Now don’t get us wrong, all our clients are more talented and smarter than us in a certain way, but keeping emotions in check when investing is kind of Nathaniel’s specialty! Kennidy introduced some relaxing techniques in moments of high anxiety and stress. Let’s all take a deep breath, and practice some self-care in this crazy world!
