RE: Did You Panic Sell or HODL During The Recent Market Correction?

in #investing7 years ago

You're right when you say biggest mistake people make is trading on emotions.

Gotta have a long-term game-plan / goal in mind and stick to it. Corrections are going to happen, need to learn to ride them out.

Sort:  

Yep. The only way you actually lose money during a crash is if you sell and lock in at that price. There's no reason to believe things won't recover at this point. Usually things will be flat for a bit before a real crash. People have to lose their optimism that there will be at recovery. Right now people are still too bullish so there are a lot of people willing to buy in at the bottom of a correction. As long as that's true, corrections will bounce back.
