ere’s an interesting fact about the stock markets. A large majority of those in the market will say they are long-term investors. The reality, however, is that if stocks correct and stay down for a few weeks or months, everyone starts worrying about their portfolio, and whether the stocks they own are worth holding. Whether we like it or not, major price movements of stocks tend to impact our decision-making and also make us anxious.

And demand is not an issue in the sector in which they operate. If these criteria are met, you don’t have to worry as long as you have a long-term perspective.
