11 Questions You Need to Know to Avoid Investment Surprises

By Bonnie Gortler

One reliable way of growing your wealth is investing in the stock market. You can avoid overwhelm and the feeling of intimidation. You can instead feel confident, peaceful, and be comfortable investing.  You will want to create an investment plan that suits your needs and is simple to follow. Develop habits that help you create a winning mindset. You will need to have an exit strategy in place, so you can protect your investments during weak investment climates. When you take these action steps, you are well on your way towards being a successful investor.

How is your stock market portfolio doing now?   It’s very important your assets in your portfolio are flexible, so you are able to make changes when you want.   Allocating a few minutes of your time each day will help you avoid being in a stock when an investment surprise occurs.

If you are investing in the stock or bond market, it’s a good idea to treat your investment portfolio as if your future counts on it. It does. Keep track of your money.  With today’s technology, it’s easy to track and have access to your investments any time using your computer, phone or tablet.

Why would you want to track your investments closely?

Track Your Investments

You want to track your investments closely because the stock market is unpredictable. There can be moves of 2-3% up and down in one day and sometimes even more.  It might not happen often, however when it does you need to pay attention.  Keeping an eye on your portfolio will decrease the fear and stress you might have. Wouldn’t it be great if you are ready when the unexpected happens and don’t have to panic?  Below are 11 questions you want to know.

11 Questions You Need to Know to Avoid Investment Surprises

  1. What is your account registration? Is it taxable or non-taxable?
  2. Have you taken the time to consolidate your assets to simplify and avoid added stress?
  3. If you have assets in a CD or money market, are you getting a high enough rate of return to meet your needs to live the lifestyle you want?
  4. Do you know what your portfolio is invested in? (For example Stocks, Mutual Funds, Bonds or Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs).
  5. What percentage of equity and bonds are in your portfolio? Do they align with your current stage of life?
  6. What is your exit strategy?
  7. Are you aware of the potential loss (risk) you can have if the stock market went down sharply? How much can afford to lose?
  8. What fees are you paying when you buy or sell securities?
  9. Is your portfolio flexible so you can make changes at any time?
  10. If you need money do you know how long will it take for you to have immediate access?
  11. Who is monitoring your assets, you or an investment advisor or somebody else?

Be a wise investor.  Take responsibility to grow your wealth by tracking your money so you are ready for unexpected surprises.  Set yourself up so that in minutes you can go to a website to know what is happening. Track your investments and be prepared at a moment’s notice if you decide an adjustment is necessary.

Read the latest news reports that may affect the market, giving you key information for a buying or selling opportunity.  You can view intraday price movements on stocks, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) of all different sectors of the market, and track how your mutual fund performance is doing.
