Be confident in the quality of your investments

Remember to be confident in the quality of your investments rather than nervous about the inevitable volatility of the short term.


Day traders will use these day-to-day and even minute-to-minute fluctuations as a way to make gains. But the gains of a long-term investor come from a completely different market movement - the one that occurs over many years - so keep your focus on developing your overall investment philosophy by educating yourself.

Don't panic when shares experience short-term movements
As a long term investing strategy, you should not panic when your investments experience short-term movements. When tracking the activities of your investments, you should look at the big picture.
