Staying Calm
Markets are going down. What are you doing about it?

This past week has been interesting to say the least. I'm not bothered by calculation of tariffs, or retaliation of tariffs, or imposing tariffs on penguins etc.
If you are as unbothered as me, and you have some cash to invest, now's as good a time as any to invest. Here's my game plan.
Investment Game Plan
Despite the doom and gloom, the S&P 500 index, and the MSCI World index are not even down 20% from all time highs. The NASDAQ 100 is down about 21%, but that is to be expected, as the NASDAQ has more volatile technology stocks.
I recommend coming with up a buying list, it can be individual stocks, or ETFs. I prefer ETFs at this moment in time, as nobody is sure about the impact of tariffs on individual stocks.
I've identified the key levels that I would like to enter at, and you can do the same. Next, you can work out how much you have to invest. Assuming that you have $30000 to invest, you can think of splitting it into three equal tranches. If you've got more cash, you can definitely have more tranches, and you don't have to allocate the funds equally.
Conclusion
At this moment in time, I'm more concerned about the potential economic fallout (e.g. widespread job losses) than a fall in the stock market.
Stay invested. Stay diversified.
