Show Notes

Market corrections are an inevitable part of investing. The challenge isn’t predicting exactly when they will happen, but making sure your portfolio is prepared when they do.

In this episode of Quarter Over Quarter, Don Drury, Tom Moran, and Charles Chesebrough discuss how investors can approach periods of market volatility without allowing short-term movements to derail long-term financial goals. The conversation explores the difference between a normal correction and a more concerning downturn, along with the economic and market indicators the team watches for signs of greater risk.

The team also examines the role of diversification, liquidity, fixed income, rebalancing, and downside protection in building a more resilient portfolio. From maintaining adequate cash reserves to managing concentrated positions, they explain why thoughtful preparation before volatility arrives can make it easier to stay disciplined when markets decline.
