Not Going to Look

October 14th, 2014 at 01:07 pm

The stock market has been going down this month. I'm not going to look. It makes me feel nervous emotionally. Logically, I know that it will go back up and that we don't need the money for another 25+ years. I also know that the shares we purchase can be considered 'on sale'. We will get more shares for the same investment dollars. And I do like a sale!

We will keep our investments the same as always. We invest automatically the same amount at the same time of the month.

Will you look? Will you keep your investment purchases the same or invest even more with prices low?

    I know what you mean...only I have looked! LOL My investments are down almost $20,000. this month. I like your attitude though...."shares on sale"!!

    Best wishes.

    I hate it when the stock market goes down, too. I haven't looked. But I will soon, because when pay day comes, I update my sidebar.

    I will look, but I won't make any changes.

    I did look.

    I didn't look at all through the 2008 downturn, until after the fact. That was not planned - I was simply disorganized and wasn't really paying attention to my account's value from one statement to the next.

    I figure if things improved after 2008 they will improve now. I haven't yet made my ROTH contribution - I will do that now.

    I won't look, but now that I know it's going down, I will buy! Buy low, right?
