Up down good months and bad months. When are people going to realize they should expect volatility and even embrace it.<\/p>\n<p>Let me give an example. In my experience if you tell a fan of red meat the local super market\u00a0is selling T-bones at half off they will respond with giddy excitement. If you tell them the cost of beef is going up by 50% they will frown and curse. This reaction is the same for everything we buy in life so why should it be any different with stocks? When stock prices drop everyone should be happy since they will be getting more for their money.<\/p>\n<p>Here is another example. Research from the gang at <strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.fool.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Motley Fool<\/a><\/span><\/strong> shows on average, U.S. stocks will drop by 10% every 11 months, 20% every four years, and 30% every decade. Furthermore, their analysis shows after stocks fall 7% to 9% in a month, they perform better over the next five years than they do after increasing 7% to 9%. The key is to be ready to pounce when the market pulls back for we are investing for the next five to ten years.. right? Of course I\u2019m writing the article..silly reader. I\u2019m joking but I am also trying to make a serious point.<\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t like roller coasters don\u2019t invest in stocks.
