What do I do now?
The pandemic is here and we’ve found ourselves in bear country without enough toilet paper.
When markets fall as rapidly as they have over the last few weeks and the country is going into lockdown, it’s reasonable to be worried about a situation that seems unprecedented.
But let’s not panic.
What should you do right now?
1. Don’t buy or sell based on headlines. There’s a lot of fear, speculation, and uncertainty feeding market volatility.
2. Focus on staying healthy and taking sensible precautions to keep yourself and your family safe, especially if you have loved ones who are at higher risk of complications from the virus.
3. Show the people around you some extra kindness in these days of anxiety. Let’s be grateful for the medical professionals on the front lines and the hard-working folks keeping stores stocked.
We’re watching markets so you don’t have to.
When markets fall off a cliff and economic upheaval is on the horizon, professional advice is one of the best tools you can have to cut through the noise and make rational decisions.
