All in Investment Planning
When bear markets hit, it’s hard to avoid making emotionally driven investment mistakes. A bear market is typically described as a 20% or more drop in securities prices. In today’s podcast, we’re addressing two mistakes to avoid: panic selling and staying in cash for too long.
Zoom out, and look at the markets from a larger vantage point to get some perspective. The further out you pull back on the results of the stock market on a graph, the more it looks obvious that the market only goes one direction historically.

Often, business owners rely on their business as their sole means of financial provision. Wouldn't it be nice to have a second leg to stand on financially? This episode talks about the benefits of investing in a separate tax-free asset, i.e., a Roth 401k, throughout your business ownership career.
When markets drop and your investment balances go down, it doesn’t make anybody feel “good.” It can be very stressful and worrisome to see your investment drop in value. What are some ways you can channel your feelings of fear and gloom into a more productive perspective when it comes to investing? Number 1, is to focus on your plan. Now, you might be saying, “I can’t go back in time to create a plan, I need help now!” And you’re correct, we can’t go back in time, but that doesn’t mean you can’t draw up a plan now for the next market dip. Because it is a matter of “when” not “if” the next market correction or recession takes place. You can prepare yourself now for the next market drop. The 2nd thing you can do to prevent yourself from making a mistake during negative stock market days is to put in place a “human barrier.” Have someone you can call on to come between you and a regrettable buy or sell decision. In other words, have someone you can talk to before you make a move in your investment accounts at an emotional time. Things will get better, sometimes it is hard to see that on your own. Have someone you can turn to to help you see the light when everything looks dark.

In today’s episode, I’m talking about the hidden cost of investing in individual stock vs investing in a basket of companies inside of an Exchange Traded Fund (ETF), Index Fund, or Mutual Fund. Namely, the emotional toll it can take to invest in individual companies. Is it worth experiencing the stress and angst it takes to invest in individual companies? Sometimes, investing in a broad range of companies within an ETF or an Index Fund is less stressful and takes less of an emotional toll on the investor. When you’re invested in a bunch of companies with a fund you’re less likely to fixate any one company. Whereas focusing on one company's results can bring about a much more emotional ride.
In this episode, I discuss the “silent killer” of financial planning: inflation. One of the best antidotes to the negative effects of inflation is investing in great companies. You want your purchasing power to at least keep pace with rising prices.
