“Don’t Panic”

Or, how to navigate through choppy financial markets

Optimism vs. Pessimism Currently, the media is full of different views about an upcoming market crash. Every day you may read about recent trends, new interpretations and predictions in which direction the markets should go – or not go. Probably, we should remind ourselves that:

1. Panic driven actions are never a good strategy 2. Until today still nobody can predict the market 3. Severe market crises do not necessarily announce itself 4. Market crises do not follow any specific time pattern

In this short paper we propose to stay calmed during choppy markets, focus on measurable facts and follow well tested processes.
