Getting Mentally Prepared for Risk
1) The Markets and Pre-Election Jitters
Stocks experienced another string of down days, with eight-consecutive losing sessions on the S&P 500. That hasn’t happened in years, but does it mean we are in for a more serious decline? The answer is no, and I explain why in today’s leadoff segment. Of course, I also give you the skinny on how all the major market sectors performed in this pre-election, jittery market. Plus, a few election thoughts before the vote.
2) Thoughts from an ETF Conference
I attended a great ETF industry investment conference this week, and among the many things I learned this week is that many income investors are facing a dilemma. That dilemma is that the math in bonds is bad. Due to the rising interest rate environment, bonds prices are no longer going to go up the way they have in the past. That means your total returns are going to likely be less in bonds. In today’s second segment, we cover all the particulars regarding this bad bond math. Plus, why behavioral economics can explain self-destructive investor behavior.
3) Getting Mentally Prepared for Risk
Risk is relative, and how much risk an investor is willing to take is dependent on a lot of factors. Yet for nearly every investor going forward, it is likely a reality that you must take on more risk going forward if want to get the same kind of returns you’ve been getting in recent years. In today’s must-listen final segment, I give you a few reasons why it’s important to get mentally prepared for taking on more risk. And, if you are holding a lot of cash the way so many investors are right now, the biggest risk is not putting that money to work. Plus, why you should never leave $40,000 just sitting on the sidewalk.
