With markets swinging wildly up or down each day, how do you go about building a portfolio of investment assets? Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) may be a great way. Allow me to explain:... Dollar Cost Averaging is a fancy term my industry likes to use for simply investing a fixed amount of $ on a consistent basis. Example: Automatically investing $500 a month, every month, regardless if the market is "up" or "down". There are two main benefits of DCA: 1) You are forcing yourself to accumulate more assets. 2) You "spread out" timing risk. When buying shares via DCA, it may potentially allow you to buy more shares, on average, at a lower cost versus just "winging it". (The attached photo does a wonderful job showing you this.) If you are sitting on a good chunk of cash and want to start investing, you can DCA into the market. to reduce your "timing risk". Feel free to message me on how you can start today. #askAmbrose #edwardjones #wealthmanagement #investments #DCA

Five Keys to Navigating Pullbacks Successfully 1. Avoid the temptation to panic - This pullback, just like those before it, won’t last forever. You’ll want to be invested when the rebound takes shape. 2. Measure your progress against your goals, not the peak value of your portfolio or short-term fluctuations. ... If your goals haven’t changed, your strategy to achieve them shouldn’t either. 3. Put time on your side - You’re investing for the long term, so use that to your advantage. 4. Leverage the power of diversification - A balanced portfolio of 65% stocks and 35% bonds has held up better, dipping considerably less than the Dow. 5. Lean in to volatility - History shows the best times to be opportunistic are when it feels toughest to do so. #askAmbrose #edwardjones #wealthmanagement

My advice to anyone who's wants to start investing in dividend paying companies. 1) Don't look at current yield, look at total return. 2) Don't look at where equities' yield is today; look where it's probably going.... Point being, both the dividend AND the capital appreciation of equities are there to provide income to you. #EdwardJones #askAmbrose #wealthmanagment

In my world, money is considered purchasing power. Inflation is the natural enemy of purchasing power, eroding it a little each day, and quite terribly over decades. Every long-term investor's goals must begin with at least offsetting the erosion of purchasing power. #EdwardJones #askAmbrose #wealthmanagment

I get this question all the time. "Ambrose, is this a good time to get into the market, or should I be waiting for the next downturn?" The answer is simple; if your time horizon is seven years followed by three decades of trying to live off your investments, there is no wrong time to invest in equities. #EdwardJones #askAmbrose #wealthmanagment
