There is an unreasonable amount of speculation in the markets again right now. There is uncertainty that is leading to buying and selling that is sending the markets sharply up and down daily. Traditional investors are guessing what the results of the recent debt crisis will have on their portfolios and they are gambling with their invested savings. There is no need to panic! When I am tempted to get anxious about the uncertain future I take comfort in the things that are certain. Follow along with me.

1. Markets are random. They go up as randomly as they go down. Unpredictable over the long term.
2. Volatility = Risk. The more volatile the markets, the more risk associated with investing.
3. 3. The market rewards higher risk with higher returns over time. More long term risk results in higher long term rewards.
4. 4. The current market volatility will provide better returns for my long term savings! I will be rewarded by staying disciplined!
