Michael Batnick: Calibrating Your Risk Tolerance

FYI: You can learn a lot about yourself as an investor on a single day. For many, Friday was one of those days. With trade war rhetoric heating up and the stock market melting down, you likely experienced some internal turbulence.

If the drop on Friday made you nervous about your portfolio to the point where you felt like pushing a button, you’re probably taking too much risk. If you felt calm and relaxed, chances are you could afford to take a little more of it. And if you experienced moderate discomfort without feeling the need to log on and check your balance, you’re doing it right.
Regards,
Ted
