Often, our family and friends also direct us to these \u201cexpert\nnetworks\u201d, and suggest we learn and grow. The availability of information at\nour fingertips in this era of technology has been a game-changer. However, it\nis important to ask ourselves: how much information can we take from the news\nand online resources to help make our investment decisions? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Financial information found online and in the\nnews can make it seem like everyone is a stock market professional, making it difficult\nto decide who you can rely on as a source of information while making your\ninvestment decision. With a lot of unverifiable information found online, you\nneed to be aware of the information you consume and ensure you know the fundamentals\nof the market. Additionally, financial news and media found online may not have\ninformation that is most suitable to your financial needs and concerns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the following article, we will focus on\nmeasures you can take while consuming financial advice from the media and other\nonline resources, so that you may be an informed and empowered investor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_68_1 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-69d40155b15be\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-69d40155b15be\"  aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.paladinregistry.com\/blog\/investing\/should-you-make-investments-based-on-what-you-hear-in-the-news\/#1_Identify_Questionable_Financial_Advice\" title=\"1.&nbsp;Identify Questionable Financial Advice\">1.&nbsp;Identify Questionable Financial Advice<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.paladinregistry.com\/blog\/investing\/should-you-make-investments-based-on-what-you-hear-in-the-news\/#2_Safeguard_Yourself_and_Your_Investments\" title=\"2.

For\nexample, as far as financial advice is concerned, there are far too many people\nwho fall for double-your-money-quick schemes. Be wary of them. Do not share\nyour bank account details with anyone you don\u2019t know or don\u2019t have business\ndealings with. More importantly, know that there are no legitimate means to\n\u2018double your money\u2019 in a short time. The stock market, which is supposedly the\nfastest way to earn (along with the tremendous amount of risk it comes with to\nlose all), only delivers around 10-12% in a year on average. Looking for credible\nsources may be hard work, yet it is essential that you take all steps necessary\nto safeguard your investments. Remember that resources that provide free\nfinancial information are not personally liable to you; hence, you must take\nthe necessary precautions while obtaining your information from online and\nother media sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is highly recommended that you cross-check the credentials of financial advisors too before you engage with one. Any exaggeration should raise a red flag. A lack of transparency in their financial practices is also alarming and should raise a red flag.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Safeguard_Yourself_and_Your_Investments\"><\/span>2. <strong>Safeguard Yourself and Your Investments<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is essential to have a plan in place when managing your finances so\nthat you can make informed decisions every step of the way. Here are three 3 to\nkeep in mind in order to safeguard your investments in your investing journey:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Take your\ntime to study the content. Do not blindly trust anything you read or hear. Do\nnot act on impulse. Pause and check if the information is clickbait meant to\ndupe you.<\/li><li>Take heed\nof all the precautions. Snap financial decisions based on dubious claims can lead\nyou into trouble. Clickbait articles thrive by suggesting that your decision\nhas to be made in haste, that you have to act right away. Even if you\u2019re\ngetting carried away by the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity &#8211; take a breather.\nPut the information aside, reassess your goals, your financial plan, and come\nback to it later. Most likely, that opportunity was not an opportunity at all!<\/li><li>Stick to\nyour financial goals. You must keep revisiting your\ngoals to make a decision. This way you can\navoid rushed decisions and budget your investments.\nIn doing this, you are constantly checking the\nallocation of assists. This proves to be a\ngreat way to help avoid pitfalls.<strong><\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Keep_These_These_3_Investment_Practices_In_Mind\"><\/span>3. <strong>Keep These These 3 Investment Practices In Mind<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Stick to your financial goals<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have set your smart financial\ngoals, try not to let news or advice run you off the track. It is human to\ncontinually change our wants and desires, which is also why setting\nsmart goals becomes important in matters of personal\nfinance. You may add to the reasons why you want to save, but your effort\ntowards the saving should not be altered unless a pressing financial situation\ndemands so. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Be unwavering in your resolve\nwhile buying\/sell<\/strong><strong>ing an investment<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This is easier said than done.\nOnce you have decided to buy or\nsell an investment, don\u2019t let the news or advice from friends tell you\notherwise. Your decision is obvious and should\nbe backed by research and a rationale that you\nare aware of. And your risk profile may be entirely different from someone\nelse\u2019s, so what works for them may or may not\nwork for you. Stick to your guns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Revisit<\/strong><strong> your\ninvestment portfolio and make educated changes, if necessary<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It is advisable to periodically\nrevisit your portfolio and assess its performance. It is recommended to re-check annually at\nleast, if not bi-annually. Irrespective of how the market is performing,\nirrespective of what the newsmakers say, irrespective of what your colleagues\nthink, call over your financial advisor if needed, and study your portfolio.\nMove money around in your investments if you feel the need for it. Add on to\nsome investments or reduce the percentage of allocation if you feel a\nparticular investment or segment is not matching up to your expectation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What to look for when you revisit\nyour portfolio:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Revisit purpose of investment<\/li><li>Revisit asset allocation<\/li><li>Revisit financial plan <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Last_Word\"><\/span><strong>The Last Word<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Nothing can beat caution. Practice\nutmost care when making decisions\nwhen it comes to managing your finances. It helps to\nkeep your options open, and practice patience. Relying on any one source, not\nchecking the source, and not paying heed to the red flags can land you into a\nbowl of boiling soup. Keep reassessing your goals and allocate a set period to revisit your financial plans.\nStay safe and happy investing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paladinregistry.com\/landing\/find-financial-advisors?cta=match\">Use Paladin\u2019s free matching tool to get connected with 1-3 financial fiduciaries that can meet your financial goals and requirements.
