It’s easy to feel tempted to sell underperforming positions, but more often than not, that’s a mistake.

Ask yourself what gave you the conviction to buy in the first place? Has anything fundamentally changed? In most cases, staying the course is a smarter move than falling to FOMO or loss aversion.

Weekly book recommendation: The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham.

This book emphasizes smart, long-term investing. It says don’t let emotions drive your decisions and always leave room for error.

“Mr. Market” shows how unpredictable the market can be, and warns not to get caught in noise.

People often find investing overwhelming.

When should I buy? When should I sit on the sidelines? When are markets too high… won’t the rug get pulled out?

These are real, HUMAN, questions to ask.

Truth is, there’s no crystal ball.

The best answer?

Make a plan. Stick to it. Period.

Reminder: procrastination is the silent killer of compounding.

It doesn’t have to be all or nothing.

Start with something and start sooner rather than later.

Weekly book recommendation: The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel.

Master your mindset, not just your money. The Psychology of Money reveals wealth is about behavior, not math.

Planning is great, but numbers in a spreadsheet only get you so far without your mindset aligned to the plan.

Investing is designed to be simple: buy companies you believe in and hold for the long term.

ETFs make it even more simple, buy 100s of companies at once and hold them for the long term.

The key is having the discipline to consistently invest over time.

3 ways to organize investments:

1) Consolidation - Just get all of your funds on one or two platforms if possible.

2) Automation - Take the thought out of contributing to accounts. Set them up so they invest automatically.

3) Optimization - Align your goals with your portfolio. Diversify.

Timing the market is tough. Dollar-cost averaging is simple. Invest consistently, regardless of market highs or lows, and let time do the heavy lifting for your portfolio.
