What does it mean to be a long-term investor? It might seem like an ironic place to start, but the first step to being a long-term investor is to mentally and financially prepare yourself for short-term market disruption.

Short-term investors look at the daily market and what is happening at any given moment, successful investors understand that time is their greatest advantage because it’s what allows all the short-term uncertainties to work themselves out.

This is why it is so important to work with someone who will regularly review and plan for your near-term lump-sum and income needs.

💡Acting on forecasting is the introduction of risk to your financial plan rather than avoidance of it.

In the long term, it seems likely that the markets will generally follow earnings just as they've done for the last century. But in the short run, anything can happen.

Thus, consider this your bi-annual reminder that as confident as these forecasters and pundits sound by offering lots of compelling evidence for their thoughts, it doesn't mean they have any idea what will happen next.

Nobody does. It's why we plan.

Foundationally, there are two levels of decisions in which investors might introduce risk to their financial plans. The first is at the planning level (long-term, strategic decisions) and the second is at the behavioral level (short-term, tactical decisions).

At the planning level, portfolio decisions that introduce risk are often counterintuitive and surprising. One example of this is being "conservative" in your planning.At first glance, being traditionally conservative might seem prudent. The problem, however, is that this strategy is likely to produce a lower long-term return, and the obvious result of a lower long-term return is a lower probability of attaining their financial goals.

Let's discuss the behavioral ways risk may be introduced. Here are just a few examples to consider:
➡️Selling out of a bear market due to fear.
➡️Buying into the fads of the moment.
➡️Chasing the best-performing stocks or funds.
➡️Acting on market forecasts.

A simple remedy for behavioral risk? Stay the course.
