With the major indexes now in a bear market as the coronavirus has developed into a “Black Swan” event—a major unforeseen risk—the question on most people’s minds is whether markets have hit the bottom or have further to fall. Though it is too soon to tell whether we have reached an actual bottom, there are […]

Such a sharp decline in the market as we have seen over the last several weeks proves, as one commentator put it, why IQ will only get you so far in investing. During times of panic, investing is more about temperament and psychology than it is about intellect. You need to be able to stay […]
