Market volatility can stir powerful emotions, making it tempting to abandon long-term financial plans in favor of short-term reactions. In this episode, Mark Riepe is joined by Susan Hirshman, a director of wealth management for Schwab Wealth Advisory and the Schwab Center for Financial Research, to explore why emotional investing often leads to poor outcomes and how to stay focused on what you can control, from portfolio structure to tax strategies. Susan shares practical steps to help investors stay grounded and react relative to their long-term financial plan rather than their short-term emotions.
