3 Things to know about.
Common Investing Mistakes.
1. Timing the market
Although the financial markets can be remarkably steady over longer
time periods, sharp short-term movements in security prices are
increasingly frequent. Choosing the ideal moment to buy or sell is
difficult, and investors who attempt to time the market may end up
missing periods of exceptional returns.
2. Ignoring the power
of diversification
Individual asset classes go in and out of favor over time.
Harnessing proper diversification can enhance returns
and help to cushion against volatility.
3. Assuming past performance
guarantees future results
That's why you see "Past performance does not guarantee future
results" on every investment marketing piece that mentions
performance—because it's true. You may end up selling when you
should be buying, and vice versa.
