The extreme volatility in the equity markets in the past few weeks is making many investors nervous. Some are making the wrong moves based on emotions. Yesterday’s Wall Street Journal had an article discussing how some people are liquidating their equity holdings and moving into cash.
Making investment decisions based on emotions rarely helps investors. As markets are unpredictable, one cannot move in and out of the market without losing gains. This is especially true for retail investors who do not have the time and resources required to analyze market activity on a daily basis. Last month many foreign markets entered bear market territory with stocks falling 20% or more. This has created excellent opportunities for long-term investors. Some of the high-quality European stocks are particularly attractive at current levels.
