Zooming Out: How to Stay Calm and Confident in the Face of Investing Challenges

It’s a scary time in markets and in today's episode Bryce & Alec give some practical advice to reassure you.

This isn't the first time that markets have gone down or into a bear market. The beauty of investing is that there are clear historical signs that the markets have gone up, more than than have gone down.

IF IN DOUBT ZOOM OUT - Between 1900 and 2018, the Australian stock market had 23 years where it went down, and 96 years where it went up - meaning 81% of those years were good years.
