March Madness
Tolerating the Stock Market Madness
With basketball’s March Madness tournament approaching, now is a fitting moment to contemplate the chaotic nature of the stock market.
What triggers this market madness? There are myriad factors at play, but one of the most substantial challenges for investors is the pronounced variability in asset prices.
This fluctuation, termed volatility, is predominantly propelled by alarming headlines, questionable market and economic predictions, and our emotional responses. However, it’s essential to recognize that fluctuations in the market are a routine occurrence!
The stock market can be quite maddening – how to better tolerate it.
