Try not to panic

If you can keep your head while all about you are losing theirs… Simon Bruce reminds us not to panic when looking at market performance.

It is never a nice feeling when markets go through periods when they fall.

And it certainly does not help to settle the nerves when we see sensationalist headlines like ‘RBS cries “sell everything” as deflationary crisis nears’ (Daily Tele­graph) or ‘Worst start to market year in two decades’ (FT.com).
