Investing with emotions can be costly

Investing with emotions can be costly. Investors tend to buy high and sell low as they invest more in a rising market and pull money out in a falling market.

Investors who have typically followed their emotions have historically regretted it. Periods that followed investors cashing out of the market have provided above-average returns, while periods that followed investors adding to the market have provided below-average returns.

It is important to stay the course and avoid reacting in ways that could derail your long-term financial goals. 

The longer you stay invested, the greater likelihood of positive returns.
