Last week stocks went into a freefall with $60 billion ‘wiped off’ the stock market. Despite this freefall, there isn’t necessarily a need for major concern. We often see headlines like this that incite fear among investors. However, they aren’t always reflective of the gravity of the situation in the stock market. 

What you need to be aware of is these changes in the share market can happen, because large volumes of comparable assets are being traded at the same time. 

You aren’t likely to see these changes in other markets quite so often, like in the property market. Of course, there are some instances, like the global financial crisis, where the property market is hit hard and quickly. However, for the most part, it takes longer to measure and quantify how events impact the property market.

Given the fast-changing nature of the share market, it is important to consider how often you should be reviewing your investments. Listen in for more of our discussion on the topic now.
