FOCUS ON FINANCE
Presented by the Hardee Investment Group and RBC Wealth Management –
Many times we make investing too hard. Through the years, I have found investor psychology plays a major role in when to buy and when to sell. Read the following, and see if you can determine where we are in the current cycle. Also, think about where you were one year ago.

Market Direction |
| Your best friend and neighbor has a cocktail party to which you are not invited. |
The market is at the bottom. Call all of your clients, and tell them to buy if anyone will answer the phone. |
| A friend invites you to a cocktail party. However, when the other guests see you, they move to the other side of the bar. |
The market is in a basing formation and will rally shortly. |
| You are attending a cocktail party. People who know you come over to ask how the market closed today and what you think they should buy. |
The market is in a major upswing. |
| You are attending a cocktail party. When people hear you are an investment advisor, they come over and introduce themselves and discuss the market. |
The market has had a large rally, and there is good group rotation. |
| A client invites you to a cocktail party. When you enter the room, he asks everyone to be quiet for a moment while he introduces you to all assembled as “his investment adviser.” |
The market is nearing a top. |
| Your best friend invites you to a cocktail party and dinner in your honor. |
The market has reached the top. Call your clients the next morning, and tell them to sell everything. Of course, they won’t as they will think you are kidding. Therefore, sell everything you own so you will have the money to buy your own drinks as the market drops. |
