Dear Readers,
Here we go again. Just when we thought we could put the worries of 2008 and its aftermath behind us, market volatility once again has individual investors spooked and wondering what to do. While every investor knows that risk comes with the territory, the recent wild gyrations are enough to make even the hardiest investors question their approach.
So it comes as no surprise that I’m getting a lot of questions about how to protect a portfolio. People understandably want to know if the standard thinking has changed, and if so, how.
