3 Mistakes to Avoid During Stock Market Sell-Offs

Welcome to Episode #279 of the Zacks Market Edge Podcast.

Every week, host and Zacks stock strategist, Tracey Ryniec, will be joined by guests to discuss the hottest investing topics in stocks, bonds and ETFs and how it impacts your life.

This week, Tracey went solo to talk about the three common mistakes investors make during a stock market sell-off, or correction.

If you can avoid the mistakes, sell-offs create buying opportunities. Stocks go on sale.

3 Mistakes Investors Make During a Stock Market Sell-Off

1.       They panic. Selling on a correction, if you're a long-term investor and nothing has changed with a company's business, is the biggest mistake most investors make.

2.       Moving to cash and then not buying again. Many investors get paralyzed once stocks rebound. Some even stay out of the market for months trying to "time" it.

3.       Think long-term, not short. The very nature of "investing" indicates it should be for the longer term or else you'd be a trader. Sell-offs and corrections are usually short term in nature.

If you can avoid the mistakes, there are always stocks that go on sale.
