Being uncomfortable can often cloud investment decisions with emotion. Here are 5 tips to avoid making investment decisions that are driven by emotion.

#1: Avoid “selling low, buying high” mentality: Staying invested in a portfolio with proper asset allocation, not reacting to market timing, will help you to avoid selling low and buying high.

#2: Don’t focus on the headlines: Rather than focusing on the daily headlines, keep your long-term investment goals in mind. Keeping focused on your long-term investment goals can lead to an increased feeling of emotional security and ultimately allow you to make better investment decisions.

#3: Diversify your investments: Diversification is a key component of a portfolio designed to perform through the entire market cycle, not just over the short term.

#4: Speak with your advisor: An advisor can provide the experience, perspective and level-headedness to help filter out the daily noise and allow you to stay on track over the long term.

#5: Set realistic expectations: After a prolonged period of market stability, we often have to remind ourselves that markets don't only move up, they move down as well — and that both are part of a normal, healthy market cycle.

While we can't predict with 100% accuracy what will happen with the markets, we can take steps to prepare ourselves. Get physician-focused investment advice so you can invest with purpose to achieve your goals and minimize risk here: http://spr.ly/61893Ggkv
