152. When It Comes to Risk, It’s Dangerous to Trust Your Instincts

April 19, 2023
Risk and market volatility

The famous boxer Mike Tyson once said, “Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.” He meant it about his opponents, but we can apply that same idea to financial planning in the middle of a volatile market. How will you react when things first get difficult? Should you trust your instincts or stick to a well-defined process that you already put in place? 

In this episode, Laura Stover, RFC® and Michael Wallin, CFP® will delve into the critical distinctions between risk tolerance and risk perception as it relates to investment strategies. They explore the role of emotions, information consumption, and self-awareness in making investment decisions, and offer valuable insights on creating a comprehensive retirement plan while avoiding common mistakes.

Managing your portfolio through a volatile market all begins the process, and we’ll give you insight into how our Redefining Wealth® process helps you build a plan that avoids these mistakes and helps to secure a stable future for you and your family.
