To The Moon

I will try to keep my emotions out of investing. Whatever I do, I will try not to let my emotions dictate your investment decisions. It’s important not to be scared by a falling market, so always think about the reasons why you picked your investments in the first place, and refer back to this when you are feeling spooked.

As the market dips, this could be a good time to jump into investing. The ideal way to invest is to buy low and sell high.

Investors should look for companies that continued increasing their dividend during previous recessions. Focusing on investing in companies with a decent dividend yield and low dividend payout ratio also helps you avoid substantially overvalued stocks during a bubble.

In addition, during a prolonged sideways bear market, having a substantial income yield lets your portfolio earn decent returns even if stock prices remain relatively flat.

Considering in advance how you may react to a market crash could help prevent you from making any expensive mistakes, and selling shares at a loss instead of waiting for an upturn in the market. Remember too that corrections are going to occur and are an inevitable part of investing. They might be unsettling, but holding your nerve could be the best way to protect your investments.

Make sure your portfolio is diversified among asset classes and regions, re-balance regularly, and maintain a high savings rate with low leverage.
