Things to keep in mind during turbulent times

Share market pullbacks are healthy and normal. Their volatility is the price we pay for the higher returns they provide over the long-term.

It’s very hard to time market moves, so the key is to stick to an appropriate long-term investment strategy.
Dial down market noise
To avoid getting thrown off a long-term strategy, it’s best to dial down the noise around all the negative news flow.
