Q: During this latest bout of share market volatility, I’ve avoided selling because I’m happy with the shares I own. They are mostly good dividend-payers, although I do have a few speculative shares that I haven’t sold because they have suffered big falls and don’t seem to be worth selling. With experts saying the market could fall further, is “being happy” with your portfolio a good strategy? Mark
A: The only shares an investor should be happy owning during market conditions like these (with rising inflation and interest rates) are quality, financially sound investments.
