Money Alchemist EP 27 - What to Do When Markets Melt
A deterioration in sentiment weighing on markets.
With crypto in a bear market, the NASDAQ in a full-on pullback, and orange juice futures in the tank, engagement farmers have been busy this month! It’s all so very exciting. Ignore the hot-fix market downloads and it could cost you a generational buying opportunity. It may even cost you everything.
Even so, three months later we’ll forget the stress of today like it was our first dirty diaper. We’ll move onto new stressors with potentially world-ending consequences. A constant attack on our psyche, forever testing our tenacity. Give in now and you just may avoid a black swan catastrophe, only at the cost of building wealth.
Resilience in the face of uncertainty is a necessary tenet of investing. Weak hands build fragile bridges to success. The tiniest of quakes precedes a long swim in a river of regret. There are no guarantees in life but there are principles we can count on.
This pullback could become a correction, then possibly a bear market. Crypto investors are more modern and efficient. They usually skip the first two steps and go straight into a bear market.
It should only matter to you if you have a concrete plan for the money and that plan will execute in the near future. Otherwise, hold fast. Of course, this assumes you begin with a sensible allocation. Garbage investments usually deteriorate into a write-off no matter how patient you are.
Join your Money Alchemists hosts for an engaging conversation about the state of markets, volatility, the fundamentals of investing and what you should be doing to keep your strategy moving forward.
