Short-Term Stock Market Volatility is Normal!

February 27, 2025

“When it comes to investing, you need to think LONG TERM”.  Ever heard anyone say that?  What does that really mean?  If you invest with a short-term mindset, you will experience a lot more ups and downs (volatility) which can be nerve-wracking.  But the longer you invest, historically, those bumps smooth out.  For instance, when looking at total returns for the S&P 500 from 1950 through 2024 there were only 16 years of negative performance!  That’s right, only 16 of 74 years were down!  Just remember, investing is a marathon, not a sprint!  Consistency is key.
