With a breather in the downdraft in stocks and interest rates on pause–for now–it is a great time to once again review holdings to see if there are issues that you are laying awake nights worrying about.
While most of the folks we hear from on the website are fairly seasoned in their investing we have many, many newer investors stopping in and reading comments and many of them likely panicked and sold yesterday–using the “buy high and sell low” technique which is pretty normal for newer folks.
It is very likely we will see some more downdrafts in these markets in the days and weeks ahead related to the corona virus, or affects on companies because of the virus, so better to have too much cash than to lay awake nights worrying.
