Markets have a way of making smart people feel suddenly unsure of themselves. I’ve seen it with clients, with friends, and yes, even in my own head early in my career: a red screen can make a long-term plan feel like a bad idea in about 30 seconds. The good news is that a market dip does not automatically mean your portfolio is broken. In many cases, it is simply revealing what your portfolio was built to handle and what it was never designed for in the first place.
