Thoughts on the Coronavirus and Market Turbulence

March 9, 2020

With a “breaking news” type of month, we have been having a lot of conversations with people about the Coronavirus and stock market turbulence.

The main question we are receiving is: “What should I be doing right now? Should I get out?”

 

Let us draw you back to one of our values – consistency.   

When we (you and us!) put the investment in place, we were anticipating periods of time exactly like these.  So, the investments you hold right now have factored in market corrections just like what we’re experiencing now. If you needed to sell from an investment position, it would already have been recommended to you as part of your financial plan.

For us to recommend a quick sell right now, would not serve your big picture, long term.  It would be inconsistent and reactionary – against our values and against our investment philosophy.

On the contrary, if you have cash on hand that could benefit from long-term investment – it would be a good time to get the ball rolling.
