With so much news to consider on a daily basis, it’s important to filter out which news stories might impact the direction of the stock market and your investment portfolio. Some news stories seem like they should adversely affect the markets but they don’t, while others are significant enough to warrant a review of your portfolio allocation and financial plan.
If a news story has you considering making changes to your portfolio, call your financial advisor first. He or she can act as a voice of reason to help determine whether making changes is necessary.
