How to Increase your Investment Risk Tolerance Part II
Lengthen your investment time.
A good general rule to use is if you need the money within five years, it should be invested very conservatively such as short-term bonds and money market instruments. Remember the further out your investment, the more risk you take.
Make sure your investment goals are clear.
You need a goal to focus your attention on such as retirement, a new house, or college education, etc. Or, your attention will be too focused on the current up and down value in the market. There will be temporary drops that should be expected and to realize that it is part of the investing process.
It is a good idea to resolve past personal losses.
In life we all will experience personal lose such as career setback, death of a loved one, personal disappointment, etc. Along the way if you have learned to accept these type of loses and move on it will be easier also when in comes to investment losses. It seems that our psyches do not do a great job of separating personal losses from financial losses.
Have a plan if things do go badly.
Decide in advance how low you will go if the investment does poorly. Develop reasons that are well thought out for your sell price. Write them down so you can consult with someone when necessary. Decide when you cannot handle a further loss before it happens.
Before making an investment analyze how much money you can lose.
If you cannot handle when things go wrong, then any negative news will be far more disturbing than it needs to be. Determining how much you can lose will prepare you to be ready if the investment does not work out as planned.
