08-01-26 When Markets Do Not Cooperate
Podcasts > Money Matters with Al & Mike
Saturday, August 1, 2026
Mike and Al walk through how to handle drawdowns and choppy periods without abandoning a long-term plan, emphasizing risk tolerance, time horizon, and a written investment policy. They highlight tactics like disciplined rebalancing, dollar-cost averaging, and maintaining a cash/short-term bond buffer to avoid selling equities at lows. Tax-loss harvesting and tightening fees are presented as “control what you can control” levers when returns are scarce. The core message: stick to process over predictions, so temporary volatility doesn’t derail lifetime goals.
