The importance of remaining focused

News. April 19 (Bloomberg) -- Asian stocks fell, dragging the MSCI Asia Pacific Index down the most in almost two months, on concern Goldman Sachs Group Inc. faces probes in Britain and Germany after U.S. regulators sued the firm for fraud.

My point. These are sudden events which shock the markets. It is important to have a discipline and following it ... closely.

It is important to always have a strategy to deal with sudden market drops or rallies.

What to do? Were you ready? Should your investment approach be modified? If not, why?

I keep repeating these questions to be ready. Even if at times I look too prudent or too late. But it is my choice and I know how to deal with it.
