It's important to remain as objective as possible when investing. Take the emotion out of it and stay focused on your objectives.

1. Stay Focused
Using a portfolio approach to properly diversify your assets can reduce the negative effects that any
individual security or asset class may have on the performance of your portfolio. Financial markets
don’t always move in the same direction. When stocks are rising, for example, bonds may decline in
value. Similarly, different types of equities or even investment styles are more successful in some
market conditions than others. By carefully diversifying your portfolio, we can reduce your risk and
enhance your chances of successfully attaining your long-term goals.
There is no need for long-term investing to be a ride like this.
