The cycle of investor emotions

Enter, exit or stay put?

Investors who are guided by their emotions are at risk of entering and exiting the stock market at the wrong time, reducing their investment portfolio returns.

Focus on discipline and savings goals instead of trying to guess the best time to invest!

Simply making regular contributions will let you meet your savings goals, reducing the risk associated with stock market fluctuations and maximizing your returns in the long run.

Stay invested: The winning formula

Maintaining your investments can be profitable, especially during periods of high volatility! The longer a security is held, the better the chances it will yield a positive return.

Initial investment of $10,000

Did you know that an investor who invested $10,000 in 1986 and missed the 10 best days on the stock market in the last 35 years would have $100,000 less in their portfolio in 2020 compared to an investor who maintained their investments? Think about it!

Always keep in mind your goals and your time frame

This will help you separate your emotions from your investments. Don’t hesitate to contact your financial advisor to learn more about the different options available for systematic savings.
