Don't get thrown off course

Markets fluctuate and so do your emotions, especially when market action favors the downside. The recent market weakness has caused some investors to get a bit nervous. We are barraged with market debate on a daily basis. The long term biased view is at times directly counter to the shorter or trading biased view. To make matters worse, unemployment is still high and recent data indicates that more people are taking loans from their 401k plans. So how does the news of the day affect your portfolio? Portfolios are designed with the long term objective in mind. Asset allocation models are constructed based on many years of historical data. Market weakness can be a great time to rebalance your portfolio and add to the exposure that is necessary to maintain your appropriate asset allocation. If your destination is far beyond the horizon, don’t let the obstacles that are close at hand throw you off course.
