Retire successfully with Informed Decisions.
April 7, 2025
In this week's podcast I talk about what's on a lot of people's minds - the markets.
As many expected, the media ran amock with the 'Liberation Day' announcements, and the resultant panicked actions of some investors led to the markets falling (as they do, a lot, temporarily!).
Last Friday it seemed that every post I saw on Linkedin was by an advisor saying something to the effect of 'Don't worry your little head about the markets - we'll be fine'. As advisors, our intent in saying such things is generally always positive, however we don't generally always get that across effectively!
Most investors are well-educated and know what is going on in the world, so rather than talk down, perhaps we should express more empathy and less condescension?? Maybe something to the effect of, 'This is bloody terrible' or 'I'm an advisor and I hate market declines'!?
