Warren Buffett encourages calm and patience during downturns
Warren Buffett advises investors to remain calm during market downturns, quoting Rudyard Kipling’s poem "If." With the Nasdaq in correction and fears of recession rising, he views these moments as opportunities for disciplined, long-term investing. Market volatility has increased, with the Nasdaq down over 10% and the S&P 500 close to a similar decline. Concerns about trade tensions and economic growth have unsettled investors, prompting caution. Buffett emphasizes that market corrections are common and often short-lived. Historical data shows bear markets average under 10 months, suggesting that patient investors can benefit from lower stock prices.
