Time in the market.

Just because the stock market is down doesn’t necessarily mean investors are losing the money they invested.

More people need to understand what “time in the market” means.

If you have been invested long enough, a stock market dip does not necessarily mean you’ve incurred any losses.

The dip might simply eat into your unrealized gains, leaving the principal untouched.

Non-investors sometimes struggle to understand this, understandably. https://t.co/WPoXgrnu9K
