For Those of You Watching Your Investments Tank

by Sean

…it’s National Relaxation Day, so, well, relax! Go out and do a bit of de-stressing today. Go on a swim. Hit the sauna. Take a nature walk. Sucker punch a sleazeball mortgage broker.

It goes without saying (but I will anyway) that into every life a little rain must fall. Likewise every market must have the occasional correction. I’ve been paying attention to the financial news, so I knew there was going to be a pretty hefty ding to the bottom line. But as long as our investment allocation doesn’t go too far out of whack, I’m the tortoise — just keep plodding forward; darting all over the place just wastes energy money.

So I hadn’t checked the actual numbers for some time. And all I can say is, wow, am I glad I’m not hung up on the day to day performance of it all!

Perhaps a mojito or two may be in order?

    Hi,
    This stuff gives the real information one needs. One can feel like reaching the destination.

    I have a query though – Usual sites like dig.com and muti.com declare “spam” when I try bookmarking there.

    I don’t have any spam pages or websites.

    Can you help me regarding this matter?

    Thanks.

    Eh, the site that was linked didn’t appear particularly spammy, but your comment probably is — entirely off-topic and likely intended solely to get a backlink.

    Thanks for the mojito recipe! I’ve been looking for one of these (though clearly not in the right places)!

    I’ve tagged you in Moolanomy’s MOMA Meme. Check out my blog at looniesandsense.blogspot.com for details.

    Thanks…

    LOL. Nice post. Indeed, trying to watch the stock market every day, even as one who invests in penny stocks, can be nerve-wracking. Better: Keep a diversified portfolio of mid-cap, small-cap and micro-cap funds and use the first two for your 5 year and more investments.
