Welcome back to Finance Friday. It's another special edition of Money Girl where I answer your

burning money questions. Today I've got a great topic. It's coming from Jenny who says,

I'm very worried that we're going to have a recession and I'll lose a lot of money if the value of my

investments crash. Should I sell what's in my retirement account and move it to cash? Or just

stop investing until the future of the economy seems more certain? Thank you for your question,

Jenny. If the recent market volatility has you second-guessing investing or wondering if you

should sell investments to stop further declines, you're not alone. While no one wants to see

their investing account balance go down, history shows that markets correct, because stocks recover

over the long term. So it's critical to maintain perspective,

especially when investing for the long term, like retirement, which I know most of you are.

This podcast will review six big mistakes investors make in volatile markets as we've experienced

lately. You'll learn what to avoid, so your investments

continue working for you. Thank you for downloading episode 917 of the Money Girl podcast.
