Equity Mates Investing Podcast Don't panic: the power of long-term investing, actually useful rules of portfolio construction & is micro-investing worth it?
Last week was a tough finish for the world's stock markets. In the US, the S&P 500 was down 2.4% and Nasdaq 100 down 3.8% for the week. In Australia, Friday was our worst day in 18 months with the ASX 200 down 2.1%. If you're following the market day-to-day, you might be panicking.
This episode is our reminder of why you shouldn't. We're zooming out and reminding you of the power of long-term investing.
That's not all we're doing as we also discuss some rules of portfolio construction and answer a question on whether micro-investing is worth it.
