Volatility is the tendency of a market to rise or fall within a short period of time. In volatile times, many investors get penic and begin to question their investment strategies but the main thing to realize is that market volatility is inevitable. It's the nature of the markets to move up and down over the short-term. We can adopt one solution is to maintain a long-term horizon by following amrt techniques and can ignore the short-term fluctuations.

 

That is very true about volatility BUT markets tend to be something of an information exchange - information in the public domain and "inside" information. So while I agree about taking a long term view, do not discount short term movements as a potential warning that things may be changing.
