"Invest in yourself today to make your 

finances work for you tomorrow"

WHAT TO KNOW RIGHT NOW ~

As we tread the volatile markets these days, it is strongly advised to have a plan, road map and even a guru in your back pocket.  My muse these days has been Jim Cramer of CNBC. In the spirit of sharing, I'd like to lend you some of the pearls I have followed from his illustrious teachings; You're welcome!

Cramer's Tips that Work!

• Always be tough on your portfolio
• Focus on the worst stocks
• Never buy all at once
• Sell into strength
• Don’t fall in love with stocks
• Give your stocks a hard time
• Don’t blow out of positions
• Like stocks less as they go up
• Study valuations and get top selling 
• The parabolic moves in market rallies

and 17p's Tips to you remain until retained:

Maintain a Healthy Mindset and Portfolio:

1. Zoom Out. Daily headlines can feel overwhelming, but remember that investing is a long-term game. Looking at the market in weeks or years — rather than days — helps you tune out the noise and stay grounded in your financial goals.
2. Diversify Intentionally. A well-diversified portfolio, balanced across asset classes and geographies, is your best defense against policy volatility. When tariffs rattle one sector, others may benefit or stay neutral.
3. Stick to a Strategy. Emotional decisions are often costly. Revisit your investment strategy and make sure it’s aligned with your risk tolerance, time horizon, and objectives. If it is — stay the course.
4. See Volatility as Opportunity. Market pullbacks, especially those driven by political posturing rather than economic fundamentals, can create opportunities to buy quality assets at a discount.
5. Control What You Can. You can’t control the headlines, but you can control how you react. Focus on things like savings rate, asset allocation, and rebalancing — and let the markets do what they do best: adapt and grow over time.

In times like these, calmness is a competitive advantage. Market ups and downs are part of the journey — but with a steady hand and a long view, you're already ahead of the curve.
