Mike Milligan explains why missing just a few of the market's best days can cut a retirement portfolio in half. The strongest days typically come right after the worst ones, so panic selling during downturns locks in losses. Work with an advisor to build a diversified plan matched to your risk tolerance so you can ignore the headlines and sleep at night.
Markets have always been volatile. No, come on. No, come on. Absolutely, guys. I, I— that's the— it's just a truth bomb. And history shows that missing just a handful of the market's best days could slash your retirement by half over a couple decades. Yet guess when those best days tend to occur? Yep, they tend to occur right after the worst ones. That's right. In other words, if you jump out every time the market drops, you can miss the rebound. And in retirement, that could be a very expensive lesson. Instead of reacting to every scary headline, work with your advisor to build a plan that can take a punch. Make sure it's diversified, it's income aware, and adjusted for your risk level, your risk comfort. Make sure you could sleep at night. With what you have at risk. And let the media be dramatic, but you don't want to follow suit.
