I just got an email from Charles R. Schwab. Must be a blanket email, I am in no danger of a call ... Dear Schwab Client: The recent ups and downs of the stock market may have you wondering about your investments. Having been an independent investor myself for over 40 years now, I thought I would share some of my thoughts on the market and how to handle times like these. The market activity we have been experiencing is a great reminder of why the key to sound investing is to focus on the long-term by diversifying your assets and to be wary of jumping on any one investment bandwagon. While no one can predict future results, I encourage you to be informed not only of day-to-day movements, but also to look at the big picture. In the past ten years, the Dow Jones Industrial Average has risen almost four-fold; in the past five years, the Nasdaq Composite Index has increased more than five times over. Although volatility is in the spotlight, long-term investors know investing requires patience and discipline. A long term plan not only can make it easier for you to ride out the ups and downs of the market, it also allows you to consider the basic investment strategies that have proven successful over the years.
