Introduction to the Video

Market crises and periods of exuberance are the ultimate tests for investors, often driving decisions based on emotion rather than long-term goals. In this video, behavioural finance expert Greg Davies explains how market volatility can lead to short-term thinking and hasty decisions, which may derail long-term investment strategies.

Davies highlights the importance of being prepared for market downturns by setting clear rules in advance, ensuring decisions aren’t made impulsively during stressful times. He also addresses the dangers of taking on excessive risk during market highs, driven by overconfidence or greed.

The takeaway? Successful investing requires consistency, a focus on long-term objectives, and resisting the urge to adjust risk levels based on current market sentiment. This video offers practical strategies to help you stay on track, no matter what the markets throw your way.
