Know Yourself: Risk Tolerance & Time Horizons

Know your real tolerance for loss and your real timeline — the capstone of Part One.

Every portfolio decision depends on knowing two things about yourself — your real tolerance for loss, and your real timeline for the money. Get those right and most of the rest is arithmetic. Get them wrong and the best portfolio on paper will get sold at the worst possible moment. Eight lessons on risk, time, and the rule you'll actually follow when markets break. The capstone of Part One.
