“One of the hardest things to do in the markets is to zig when everyone else is zagging.”

Marc Lichtenfeld, Chief Income Strategist, The Oxford Club

Mike Tyson once famously said, “Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.”

The same could be said for investors. When they first enter their positions, many traders and investors think they know exactly what they’re going to do no matter which way the stock moves. Then, when they get punched in the mouth by the market, all that smart strategy goes out the window, and they flail around like one of Tyson’s opponents, hoping to get lucky before they hit the ground.

In some ways, investing can be easy. Like a well-conditioned boxer with a strong game plan who knows they have enough in the tank to go the distance, an investor who owns quality stocks for the long term will make money over the years even if they take a few shots to the chin from time to time.

But many investors and traders cave at the first downtick or sign of bad news. Those investors don’t make money. I’ve lost count of how many times a friend or stranger has asked me, “Should I get out now?” because of some recent headline, downturn in the market, or even the market hitting all-time highs.

One of the hardest things to do in the markets is to zig when everyone else is zagging. When everyone is selling and markets are tanking, it takes an iron stomach to buy.

But that’s typically the right move. Think about the depths of the financial crisis, the COVID crash, or even the relatively mild bear market of 2022. Most people did not put money to work until the market rebounded and made new highs.

If you did, you likely made a fortune.

It’s these extraordinary moves, when other folks are getting “punched in the mouth,” that offer incredible opportunities for profit – if you know where to look.
