Don't let volatility scare you away from the market

Don't let volatility scare you away from the market



Here is a very good article about not worrying over recent stock market volatility.  The actual up and down limits are not really that bad.  It is also normal for the market to have some gyrations.  The long term trend is still up also.  As the author mentioned, you could buy good stocks on pullbacks. 



Secondly, the economy is currently doing okay.  It is unlikely that we will have a bear market without a recession.  So, you can buy stocks that will continue to do well in spite of the market oscillating.  I bought Facebook (FB) and Starbucks (SBUX) this week because I believe both stocks can go much higher.
