7 Ways To Keep Calm In a Stormy Market -- How

11/10/2011 0 comments

We would like to comment on an article written by MICHAEL A. POLLOCK www.smartmoney.com. In it, he outlined the following 7 ways:

  1. Get real about your tolerance for pain. --- in our words, risk profile, risk profile!
  2. Favor funds that cast a wider net. --- in our words, diversification
  3. Hire a pilot who charts a smoother ride. --- in our words, go anywhere
  4. Don't try to wager on where stocks are headed. --- in our words, do not wager all in and all out
  5. Fine-tune your cash stash to your family's needs. --- in our words, cash is king, not even money market funds, that can have exposure in some you-never-know-what-happen-under-the-matt stuff (read, Greek, Italian bonds)
  6. Don't assume that a stock-free portfolio is risk-free. --- in our words, nothing is risk-free, even cash. 
  7.  Don't be ashamed to seek help. -- in our words, follow a sound and systemic advice, being humans or systems.
