Financial Advice for Turbulent Times
“A portfolio is like a bar of soap. The more you handle it, the smaller it gets.” – Darcy Howe
Stock markets around the world are turbulent at the moment as inflation and geopolitical conflicts have many investors on edge.
It’s human nature to want to take action in the face of instability. Turbulent economic markets can often lead to fear and anxiety amongst investors.
