During a stock-market decline, there are those who panic and sell. And then there are those who don’t have any choice.
In late 2008 and early 2009, I remember talking to many investors who lost their nerve as share prices plummeted. Some of those who dumped stocks were folks I considered to be seasoned investors.
But today’s column is aimed at a different group: those who set themselves up for failure before share prices even decline — by pursuing high-risk investment strategies that just don’t make sense for the typical investor.
