When the stock market looks like a sea of red, and the business news is fixated on when the next crash will occur, it's difficult to maintain investing discipline.

But discipline is the key to success, especially when markets are turbulent. Volatility makes even the most experienced investors uneasy—but it doesn’t have to derail your investment strategy.

Part of this discipline is understanding the cyclical nature of markets. Downturns are not only common, but they are also normal, natural, and even constructive—especially when you keep your focus on the long term.

We'd like to offer some expert guidance on maintaining your investing focus and discipline in all market conditions. Our free guide1 discusses 4 insights that generations of investors have used to stay on course. These principles include:

  • Sharp market declines and corrections are a normal part of investing
  • The best market days come unexpectedly (often within days or weeks of the worst days)
  • Trying to pick market tops and bottoms is nearly impossible
  • Trust your strategy and discipline, not the headlines
  • Plus more insights and assistance to help you keep your investment strategy on course.
