The market’s doing its rollercoaster thing again—and if your stomach’s doing flips, you’re not alone. But before you hit the panic button or cash out your 401(k), let’s take a collective deep breath. Because when things get bumpy, the worst time to make big money moves is right now.
Scott and I said it on the podcast, and I’ll say it again here: now is NOT the time to create a brand-new investment strategy. Emotions and market swings don’t mix well when it comes to your financial plan.
That said, this is the perfect time to observe how you’re feeling. Are you nervous? Excited? Ready to never look at your portfolio again? That emotional intel is gold—it’ll help you build a smarter, more personalized investment plan later when things settle down.
In the meantime, some of the brightest minds in personal finance are weighing in on what’s happening:
Stay informed, stay calm, and remember that volatility is part of the journey.
This, too, shall pass.
