Sometimes we forget the simple truth.<\/span><\/p>\n

THIS HAPPENS!<\/span><\/p>\n

Markets go down. In fact a lot of times.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let me clarify…<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Markets go up, and then they go down. Over time they go up more than they go down.<\/b><\/p>\n

If you have forgotten this, probably today is an apt time to refresh your memory.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here is a time travel across the last 41 years…<\/span><\/p>\n\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>\n\"\"<\/a>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

As seen above, declines are a normal part of equity investing. <\/span><\/p>\n

In fact, a 10-20% temporary decline is as common as your birthday and you should expect this almost every year.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The average intra-year decline has been -21 percent for the last 41 years.<\/p>\n

The chart below is a summary of the past intra year declines (all the charts that you saw above).<\/span><\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n

Now that you are aware of how markets have behaved in the past, is the current market decline something that you should be surprised about?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We have shown you the proof.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To paint this as a crisis or to convert this into an opportunity, is a choice that you have to make.<\/span><\/p>\n

As always, Happy Investing! \ud83d\ude42\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
