Be Prepared, Don’t Panic

The rest of 2020 is shaping up to be filled with uncertainty: market volatility, a possible second wave of coronavirus, and the shifting landscape of work and school.

But it’s not time to panic, it’s time to be prepared.

As you listen to the talking heads, you may start to wonder that if you make the right moves at the right time, you can time the market; however, this is not a realistic approach. A better way forward is to understand the level of risk you are willing to tolerate in your strategy while also considering your spending habits, family needs, and overall financial goals.

As we enter the final months of 2020, it’s a good idea to review your financial strategy and talk about how to handle market risk. Together, we can continue to build a diversified plan to help meet your long-term goals and leave you feeling confident in any market.

Here are some articles that I found insightful. I’d love to know your thoughts on them.
