the watch of time

Recent negative market volatility is part of a long term trend – of ongoing market volatility.  How can we remain invested and cope with it?

• Stay in bed and avoid contact with television, radio, or internet
• Learn to savour the tastes of bread and water
• Go on a treasure hunt finding items that may be worth money at a flea market
• Take comfort in knowing your investment income tax will be lower again
• Stop sending thank you notes to your advisor or broker
• If you’re a self-investor, find your doppelganger to blame problems on
• Listen to motivational tips which lure you into a short-term sense of confidence
• Watch movies about the subject so you can compare fact to fiction
• Use your nicest flowing pen to list issues which worry you more
• Diversify with other asset types, since they can’t be much worse
