Launch Your Summertime


Investment Strategy
Summer is here. And summertime activities
can provide some valuable lessons for
successful investing.
For example, just as you plan your route
on a road trip, you’ll need to map out your
investment strategy and chart your progress.
In the summer, you apply sunscreen to avoid
sunburns. But as an investor, you can get
burned by putting too much money in one
asset, which is why you should diversify
amongst a range of investments. While
diversification, by itself, cannot guarantee a
profit or protect against loss, it can help reduce
the effects of volatility on your portfolio.
Finally, just as you need to stay hydrated on
