124. Navigating Market Volatility

October 5, 2022
Navigating market volatility

It’s difficult to feel settled when markets are falling and uncertainty clouds the future, but we know that corrections are a normal and essential part of the cyclical nature of the market. They release pressure on markets when equities rise too fast, but that doesn’t ease our mind when we’re in the midst of the turbulence. What can help, however, is maintaining the right perspective.

Having a comprehensive plan can really paint the bigger picture and help bring the long-term back into focus. The goal isn’t just your investment returns. It’s about reaching the overall goals you’ve set for your future. Today, Laura Stover, RFC® and Michael Wallin, CFP® will tell you what you need to keep in mind to navigate the market volatility so that you’ll avoid trying to time the market and keep from acting emotionally when the large swings occur. Plus, we’ll tell you why times like these can actually become opportunities for investors with the right perspective. 

You can also find out more about an upcoming live appearance in Ohio and how to register as well as a webinar that we’ll be rolling out soon for out-of-town listeners.
