The stock market has been rough in 2025. Both the US stock market and global stock market are down heavily since the beginning of 2025. Time to panic? I don't think so. As we go through in this video, the big mistake that people often make at these uncertain moments is panic selling. We need to avoid that. Not just because it is impossible to 'time' when to get back into the markets, but also because the historical data backs up that these types of falls happen regularly in the stock market. And these falls might even be a good thing if you're a long term investor... What am I doing? Not panic selling, continuing to hold my investments and continuing to invest. What should you do? At the end of the video I share the 5 things that you should do - right now - in my opinion. Watch the video for the full details!
