You Can't Control Much, But You Can Control Investment Fees
FYI: Although you can't control what happens in Shanghai -- or the fact that troubles in China can drag down stocks here by 10 percent in just over a week -- you do have control over one crucial factor affecting your portfolio: how much you pay in expenses. So use this past week's stock shock as a reminder to take charge of what you can control, and keep fees low to hold onto more of your savings.
