| Managing Market Volatility |
 |
If the financial markets have taught us anything over the long term it's that upward markets are sometimes followed by corresponding downward periods. It's called volatility, and it always has been and always will be the pulse of the market.
The fact is there are a number of factors that contribute to market fluctuations, including slowing economic growth, consumer confidence, inflation, credit rates, oil prices, and projected corporate earnings. No one knows for sure how severe the impact of these factors may be or how long the impact may last. Fortunately, there are a number of time-tested market principles that may help you survive market volatility as you pursue your long-term investment objectives.
