Investing Guide Overview"Most of the time stocks are subject to irrational and excessive price fluctuations in both directions as the consequence of the ingrained tendency of most people to speculate or gamble...to give way to hope, fear and greed." Benjamin Graham
With market volatility the rule, how should the average investor react? For many investors, the answer to this question was determined long before a precipitous decline or steep increase in the market. For those with a long-term investment strategy, like Warren Buffett, fear-driven declines often present a buying opportunity, while rapid, greed-driven rallies signal a time for caution. For speculators, it is a time to bail or make another bet. For the average investor, times of volatility can result in panic and a loss of faith in the markets or greed and an over weighting in risky stocks.
The Moneysmartz Investing category is designed to help you begin building a strong foundation to weather the storm in bad times, avoid greed during the good times, and stay focused on the long term prize, a sizable, well diversified, and stable portfolio of investments reflecting your personal situation.
