Look, there’s a LOT of crap flying around right now.
The market is likely going to open down by 1-2%.
And it’s going to feel stressful over the next few days…
But here’s how to keep calm amongst the chaos…
If you’re an X user, you can mute words like “Iran” - doing so will allow you to avoid the armchair experts giving a poorly research take every hour. See below for what I mean
If you’re not sure what moves to make for your portfolio, the best move is likely doing nothing
If you’re worried about this is going to effect specific stocks in your portfolio, I can guarantee that you’re not going to get a good answer (either from yourself or someone else) within the next 24 hours. Refer to point number 2 for more actionable advice.
If you’re thinking about trading today, and aren’t sure of what to trade, take the day off. The market will be there tomorrow. No good trades begin in a state of hysteria.
If you’re reading sales pitches about “Sixty Days to Save America” or other doommongering garbage, then delete the emails
It’s my playbook for not losing your shirt during volatile market conditions
