Buy when the market is down from "summary" of The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham
The intelligent investor will recognize that market fluctuations are a normal part of investing. Instead of being swayed by emotions or trying to time the market, they will focus on the underlying value of the companies they are investing in. When the market is down, many investors panic and sell their investments in a rush to cut their losses. However, this is often the worst possible time to sell. The intelligent investor understands that downturns in the market present opportunities to purchase quality investments at a discount. By buying when the market is down, the intelligent investor can take advantage of lower prices and potentially higher returns in the future. This requires discipline and a long-term perspective, as it may take time for the market to recover and for the investments to realize their full potential. It is important for the intelligent investor to do their homework and thoroughly research the companies they are considering investing in. By focusing on companies with strong fundamentals and a proven track record, the investor can increase their chances of success in the long run. By following these principles, the intelligent investor can avoid being swayed by market trends or short-term fluctuations. Instead, they can focus on building a well-diversified portfolio of quality investments that will stand the test of time.
