Hello everyone! Today I’m going to talk about what to do when loosing money and markets fall.

As per usual, this is not financial advice. If you’re unsure about anything I would suggest consulting a regulated financial advisor.

In one of my first article I analyzed the importance of risk.

I emphasized the fact that risk is key in your investing journey.

If you don’t need your money back in the next 5 years then the stock markets is the right investment for you. The reason being is that 5 years time is enough time to recover from market downturns as it happens now.

I can be emotionally challenging to see the value of your money worth less. To help you navigate those rainy days, I’ve listed a couple of things:

Do’s:

• Stay calm, don’t panic.

Don’t:

• Sell your investments.

When the stock markets crash, the most important thing is to keep your head cold and not get overwhelmed by emotions.

I hope you enjoy this short article, feel free to drop me a message to share your experience you might have had.

Thank you for reading!
