How do I follow this advice with my portfolio?

So, how do you follow the advice that it’s about “time in the market, not timing the market” for your own portfolio? It’s actually the same advice that we offer most of our clients: • Ensure you have a welldiversified portfolio • Don’t make snap judgements or rush to buy or sell investments without very good reasons

• Don’t assume that bad news will always cause prices to dip

• Ignore market fluctuations and be confident in your diverse strategy

• It’s better to be too early than too late – if you like an investment and want to own it, you should own it, don’t try and time your entry

• Think long term – consider in-

vestments over years, not days

Need help with your investment strategy? Face to Face Finance offer investment and savings strategies that don’t gamble on short term performance or second guess the markets – they’re based on tried and tested diverse strategies.
