Do not panic!

The world is not coming to an end.
What did you expect? For the market to climb forever?

The last two weeks were poor. The market is losing its height and all I hear around me is panic.
No, this is nothing like the 2001 crisis (I hope).
The stock markets climbed rapidly during the last 24 months and it's about time investors claim their profits.
I listen to the analysis of key players in the market, and they say the economy is strong and they see no special reason for these drops in the stock market but two. The one I mentioned earlier (investors claiming profits) and the second one is the interest rates - the higher the interest rates, the more the stock market suffers, and we witnessed several interest changes upwards.

If you are too nervous to cope with the current readjustment of the market, stay out till it climbs back again. It could be tomorrow, next week, next month or next year...
The sooner the better.
