#5. Thou Shalt Invest with a Long-Term Mentality
Invest with the long term in mind. Patience is indeed a virtue. Historical data show that investors who stay the course often come out on top over time. When it comes to investing, compound interest and time are your best friends. Put them to work, and they will do wonders for your portfolio. Markets are made to rise and fall. Like ocean waves, the ebb and flow of the markets is a natural cycle. If nothing fundamental has changed with your original investments, let them continue to ride the waves and grow as time passes by. Trying to pick ‘tops’ and ‘bottoms’ is an exercise in futility.
