David Swenson: 我认为投资中最大的错误是追逐短期收益,也就是买涨卖跌。从数学角度来看,这种策略是行不通的。我们不应该在市场上涨后大量买入股票,尤其不应该在市场暴跌后卖出股票。 Bridget Madrian: 当股市暴跌时,人们的本能反应是恐慌性抛售。但是,这样做会让你锁住损失。与其在市场低点卖出股票,不如坚持持有,等待市场复苏。记住,损失带来的痛苦感往往是收益的两倍,所以保持理性,避免在情绪化的状态下做出投资决策。 Bola Shokunbi: 股市下跌并不意味着你已经损失了任何东西,除非你真的卖出了股票。经济是周期性的,所以我们应该保持耐心,度过市场低迷期。投资需要考虑时间线,如果你进行的是长期投资,例如为退休储蓄,那么短期的市场波动就不应该影响你的决策。如果你不需要短期资金,可以暂时停止查看投资账户,避免情绪化决策。现在是继续投资的好时机,你可以利用低价买入更多股票,并利用美元成本平均法来降低风险。即使你之前从未投资过,也应该开始投资,从小额开始,逐步增加投资金额。在投资前,应确保有足够的应急储蓄,至少覆盖3到6个月的基本生活开支。同时,应优先偿还高息债务,因为高息债务的成本可能高于股票市场的长期回报。在偿还高息债务后,可以根据个人目标,将剩余资金用于购房、创业或额外投资。记住,没有人能够预测股市何时触底反弹,所以应该利用股市下跌的机会低价买入股票。为了减轻压力,可以专注于建立短期目标的现金缓冲,这样当需要用钱时,你就不用担心亏损卖出投资了。

Chapters
This chapter explores the emotional and financial reasons why it's usually a bad idea to sell stocks when the market is down. Experts explain that market fluctuations are normal and that selling during a downturn locks in losses, preventing potential recovery. The analogy of a roller coaster is used to illustrate the importance of staying invested.
  • Market corrections are normal and stocks have historically recovered.
  • Selling during a downturn locks in losses.
  • Emotional reactions often lead to poor financial decisions.
