#17 – How to Win the Emotional Battle of Long-Term Investing – The Dry Powder Principle

Humans are naturally reactive, it’s a survival technique but those who are able to look beyond the market storms are the investors that are typically rewarded.

Today I’m going to share with you one of the most powerful and helpful investment tools, in my opinion, to use when investing gets tough – The Dry Powder Principle. We’ll take a look at the history of how often and severe markets fall, the recovery time for all bear markets from 1928, and how The Dry Powder Principle can be helpful when preparing for retirement. Understanding market cycles can help us gain a sense of patience, look beyond the danger, and stay invested over time – which is key to becoming a happy retiree.
