Those words from Warren Buffett highlight a shift from our usual thinking and offer a challenge to anyone who is disciplined enough to follow them. In the investing world, there is often a “herd” mentality that leads investors to make hasty decisions, based only on how everyone around them is reacting to a stock market rise or fall. Warren counteracts that herd mentality with one simple statement. In essence, he is saying investors should be aware of what is happening around them and make clear decisions, regardless of the hysteria or hype.
Warren Buffett has the keen ability to keep his emotions in check when he is investing or communicating investing strategies to clients and his employees. While a great way to build wealth, investing can also be a very emotional undertaking, and rightly so. Anytime you invest 60-90% of your wealth in anything, it’s going to create some anxiety about the security of that wealth. The key to long-term investing, as demonstrated by Mr. Buffett, is to minimize the level of emotion, as far as your money is concerned.
Mastering your emotions is a critical part of investing. Learn more on this #Worthitpodcast episode! @DRgranger #investing #investingwisdom Click To Tweet
You may not be your own best counsel, but you can convince yourself that a decision is good or bad better than anyone. This may present a problem when planning a long-term investment strategy. The good news is, there are financial advisors and financial planners who can help you understand all the nuances and help you find a strategy that works for you. They are your support system, your coach and your cheerleader for all of your investment goals. Working with an advisor can help remove some of the fear and uncertainty associated with your investment, allowing you to focus on more important things, like life goals, passions, and family.
Dustin R. Granger, CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ says dollar-cost averaging is a great way to start investing without a high level of emotion. For example, let’s say you want to increase your investment portfolio over the course of one year. You have researched a few stocks and plan to invest. Instead of waiting until you have, say $1000 dollars and investing all at once, dollar-cost averaging means that you would set a dollar amount each month, then only purchase that amount. If the stock you are purchasing is $10, a one-time purchase of $1000 would buy you 100 shares. If you set your monthly purchase amount to $100, then automate it, you don’t have to think about adjusting your investment drastically, regardless of what the market is doing. You invest $100, every month, like clockwork. During the course of that year, the share price may go down, meaning that $100 has more purchasing power. Other months the share price may rise, reducing your purchasing power. This is how dollar-cost averaging works. It is a great way to consistently invest without the emotion.
Dollar Cost Averaging involves continuous investment in securities regardless of fluctuation in price levels of such securities. An investor should consider their ability to continue purchasing through fluctuating price levels. Such a plan does not assure a profit and does not protect against loss in declining markets.
