Back in the dot-com bubble of the 90s, Edward Greenspan coined the term ‘irrational exuberance’. The recent social media-driven stock volatility is a good example of what he meant. Market volatility not driven by the fundamentals.
Although it’s fun to watch the pundits argue about the market, injecting a dose of ‘rational’ exuberance into your financial strategy is a better idea. Volatility is part of investing, and what’s important is having a well-diversified portfolio that has been constructed around your short, medium, and long-term goals.
