Stay the Course
• One of the key Boglehead rules, and it is challenging when the markets are scary.
• In 2015, we reached the end of several years of outstanding profits, and watched as our portfolios sank a bit, recovered and then sank again.
• Should we stay the course?

Perspective• Remember that you need to keep a broad
perspective when your objective is long term.
• Staying the Course requires:o Nerves of steel if you follow the market too closely. o Perspectiveo Or the ability to ignore the news and not worry.
