Today Josh is going to translate our different financial investment roller coaster approaches to how investors view the stock market. He is also going to explain a concept for those of you, that are like him and don’t care for roller coasters, especially those of you that don’t think you can stomach the extreme ups and downs of recent stock market volatility. There is a concept in the investing world called “Fear of Missing Out”, commonly known as FOMO. The Oxford dictionary defines FOMO as “anxiety that an exciting or interesting event may currently be happening elsewhere”, with the implication that you are missing out. The bad side of FOMO can lead to impulsive decisions by investors because they see people. Josh and Michelle will go through how to handle every financial FOMO on this week's episode.

We are recording this episode on Thursday, April 10th, less than 24 hours removed from the largest single day rise in the stock market valuation, right smack dab back into another 2-3% trading dip. The word “historical” gets way overused, but in the case, it’s not hyperbole to say that we are experiencing truly historical levels of volatility, eclipsing even the crazy ups and downs we saw at the beginning of the Covid crisis. And for a radio show based on top-of-mind topics for investors in or near retirement, or any investor of any age I would say, I think it goes without saying that tariffs and resulting stock market volatility is certainly on the minds of most of you tuning in. Last episode we discussed the reasons for this volatility, this episode we’re going to talk about what to do about it, particularly you investors that may not have the stomach for this roller coaster.

A well-thought-out succession plan ensures that your business continues to thrive without you at the helm, and it's something you should start thinking about sooner rather than later. So Jay, I am going to lay out some of the most common ways to pass on business to the next generation, and discuss much more on this week's episode of Coasting in Retirement.
