6 Ways Investors Can Seize the Moment During the Pandemic

These are anxious times for investors -- both young and old.

For younger investors, who've been happily watching their savings grow during an 11-year bull market, this may be their first time experiencing a crash and the accompanying fears of a recession. For those nearing retirement or who are already there, a turbulent market could diminish their nest egg and leave a giant hole in their income plan.

Some will flee the market as it plummets -- or sit and do nothing. If forced to choose, I often feel that the latter is the better choice of those two options. Investors who sell during a panic with the idea of getting back in when things improve may miss out on the market's best days.
