Hope

Looking at my investment portfolio has become a very, very painful experience. But my friends at BMO Investorline are trying to make amends:

With the market volatility we’re currently experiencing, we understand you may be anxious about your investments. Although it’s difficult not to be concerned, it’s important to remember to focus on the long-term potential and keep the big picture in mind while waiting out this temporary turmoil.

This temporary turmoil has set the value of my portfolio back about 6 years. But hey. I am focused on the long-term potential and I am keeping the big picture in mind.
