A Shift has Taken Place
A shift has taken place. The evening news headlines have changed from Covid-19 updates to a war in distant lands.
There is no doubt that the war in Ukraine initiated by Russia several weeks back has many of us on edge, nervous, and worried about our own economy and markets here in the U.S. Market volatility, inflation, news about the potential of cyber-attacks, and just simply the uncertainty about our global circumstances is enough to cause apprehension and fear about what to do with your portfolio.
A major crisis that may cause the market to drop in value can be unsettling, but it doesn’t necessarily spell the end for the markets or your investment strategy. History has shown that markets bounce back, and that staying invested through volatile episodes lets you benefit from the rebound. Reflect on the examples below.
