[The biggest problem for most investors during a market downturn]

1. We are reactive and we freeze up as our unrealised losses start to pile up, it adds emotional pressure. This is why we need to have a game plan, a watch list and know the price we want to buy. [1/4]
2. Corrections are normal and we should kick a fuss out of it. Sometimes, corrections can happen for a variety of reasons which frankly... it is out of our own control, so I will try to control the choice of companies I buy and its valuations. [2/4]
3. We tend to fantasize about getting the best price in each correction but we may end up getting 0 shares. We tend to wait around for better prices every day. Well, if this stock is worth 40-60% more in the future, why is buying 10 cts cheaper important? [3/4]
4. There is nothing like the best price, but we will get a good price. I think we should not think we have some mysterious power or crystal to time the market, but a humble heart to know more about our businesses every single day. Not getting any shares is more painful. [4/4]
