CHICO STATE Renowned economist slated for campus talk Asaninvestor,youmaybe gaining familiarity with the term "market correction." Butwhatdoesitmean?And, moreimportantly,whatdoes it mean to you? A correction occurs when a key index, such as the S&P 500, declines at least 10% from its previous high. A correction, by definition, is short-term in nature and has historically happened fairly regularly — about once a year. However, over the past several years, we've experienced fewer correc- tions, so when we have one now, it seems particularly jarring to investors. How should you respond to a market correction? The answermaydepend,tosome extent, on your stage of life. If you're still working … If you are in the early or middle parts of your work- ing life, you might not have to concern yourself much about a market correction because you have decades to overcome a short-term downturn. Instead of sell- ing stocks, and stock-based investments, to supposedly "cut your losses," you may find that now is a good time to buy more shares of qual- ity companies, when their price is down. Also, you may want to use the opportunity of a correction to become aware of the need to peri- odically review and rebal- ance your portfolio. Stocks, and investments contain- ing stocks, often perform well before a correction. If their price has risen greatly, they may account for a greater percentage of the total value of your port- folio — so much so, in fact, that you might become "overweighted" in stocks, relative to your goals, risk tolerance and time hori- zon. That's why it's impor- tant for you to proactively rebalance your portfo- lio — or, during a correc- tion, the market may do it for you. To cite one as- pect of rebalancing, if your portfolio ever does become too "stock-heavy," you may need to add some bonds or other fixed-rate vehicles. Not only can these invest- ments help keep your port- folio in balance, but they also may hold up better during a correction. If you're retired … After you retire, you may need to take money from your in- vestment accounts — that is, sell some investments — to help pay for your cost of living. Ideally, however, you don't want to sell stocks, or stock-based vehicles, dur- ing a correction — because when you do, you may be "selling low." (Remember the most common rule of investing: Buy low and sell high. It's not always easy to follow, but it's still pretty good advice.) So, to avoid being forced into selling, you need to be prepared. During your re- tirement years, try to keep at least a year's worth of cash instruments on hand as well as short-term fixed income investments. By having this money to draw on, you may be able to leave your stocks alone and give them a chance to recover, post-correction. And it's important to maintain a reasonable percentage of stocks, and stock-based vehicles, in your portfolio, even during retirement — because these investments may provide the growth necessary to help keep you ahead of inflation. Conse- quently, as a retiree, you should have a balance of stocks and stock-based ve- hicles, along with fixed- income vehicles, such as bonds, certificates of de- posit, government securi- ties and so on. Being prepared can help you get through a correc- tion — no matter where you are on life's journey. Thisarticlewaswritten by Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor.
