3 Steps for Controlling Your Emotions
1. Have a plan.
2. Know your time frame.
3. Review the plan.
It sounds simple, right?
A lot of investors get caught up in emotions because they feel out of control during stock market volatility.
But having a plan can go a long way towards alleviating that loss of control.
The key, however, is to have one before you need it.
And then stick to it when things get rough.
What do you do about FANG?
A lot of investors have also been caught in this correction with big positions in the FANG and the FANG-lite stocks such a Alibaba (BABA - Free Report) , Facebook , Twitter , Micron (MU - Free Report) and Nvidia (NVDA - Free Report) .
These stocks had big runs in 2017 but have pulled back in 2018.
Tracey likes to call them “sure things” because investors were piling into them as defensive plays, but in 2018, they’ve been anything but.
Should investors cut back in these names or is now the time to add more?
Find out the answer to this and more on this week’s podcast.

Don’t Even Think About Buying Bitcoin Until You Read This
The most popular cryptocurrency skyrocketed last year, giving some investors the chance to bank 20X returns or even more. Those gains, however, came with serious volatility and risk. Bitcoin sank 25% or more 3 times in 2017.
Zacks’ has just released a new Special Report to help readers capitalize on the explosive profit potential of Bitcoin and the other cryptocurrencies with significantly less volatility than buying them directly.
