: It oh-so-tempting to give in and panic when the market does, isn’t it But anyone who did capitulate on Tuesday, when an attempted rally turned turtle, could well have lived to regret it by Wednesday, when the Dow Jones Industrial Average soared more than 600 points and both it and the Standard & Poor 500-stock index posted their biggest one-day percentage gains in almost four years, according to The Guardian. The Dow added another 369 points on Thursday – although all of that gain came during the final hour of trading and some of it was lost on Friday. That especially true in periods of tremendous uncertainty, when professional investors control billions of dollars, use trading algorithms when deploying it, and are trying to figure out what afoot with respect to major issues, ranging from how China economy will affect the rest of the world to what action Federal Reserve policymakers will take when they meet in mid-September.

That, in turn, means you have three choices. That means that the temptation to simply give in and react to the market noise will grow, hour by hour and day by day.
