20/20 Money Episode #70 – What to do During Market Selloffs

March 9, 2020

On this episode of 20/20 Money, I deviate a bit from the traditional topics of the show and talk about what investors should be thinking about and doing during market selloffs like we experienced last week. I actually bumped a previous episode to make room for this conversation just given the nature and timeliness of the events that occurred in the markets last week. I talk about the importance of having an investment philosophy, what you should be looking at with regards to your investment plan and timeline, the importance of understanding the amount of risk that you’re taking in your portfolio by knowing the loss deviation of your portfolio, historical examples of market performance during epidemics and pandemics, and why it’s a nearly impossible feat to try and predict or time the markets.

As a reminder, you can get all the information discussed in today’s conversation by visiting our website at integratedpwm.com and clicking on the Learning Center. While there, you can also set up a 30 minute discovery conversation to learn a little bit more about what it means to work with our firm or check out any number of additional free resources like our eBooks and on-demand webinars.
