During times of geopolitical tension—like the recent U.S. military action in Iran—it’s completely natural to feel uneasy about the world and, by extension, your investments. But history has shown us that reacting emotionally to global events often leads to poor financial decisions. Markets may react sharply in the short term, but they typically recover once the uncertainty passes. Long-term investors who stay the course are usually rewarded for their patience.

Trying to time the market or make sudden changes in response to headlines often means selling low and missing the recovery. Your investment plan was built with the understanding that there will be ups and downs—including geopolitical events. By staying focused on your long-term goals rather than short-term noise, you’re giving your portfolio the best chance to grow and support your future.

As always, we’re here for you. If you’re feeling uneasy or just want to talk things through, please don’t hesitate to reach out—whether by phone, text, email, video call, or an in-person meeting. We’re happy to review your plan, answer any questions, or simply be a sounding board during uncertain times. Your peace of mind is important to us.
