 Savvy investors know that it's time, not timing, that
succeeds. You stand the best chances of reaping rewards
by keeping your money invested for a long time. Instead of
making emotional decisions based on short-term market
movements, create a long-term investment plan and stick to
it. You'll avoid the temptation to time the market – and find
it far less stressful. Why? It's simple.
Investments go up and down continuously. Although you can't predict when this may happen, you can prepare. By holding a balanced portfolio, you'll discover that it's easier to ride out a downturn in the market. That's because when one type of investment is underperforming, it's usually tempered by better performance of another. Best of all, establishing the correct asset allocation allows you to calmly view market lows as potential buying opportunities.
