If the companies your invest in are fundamentally strong and stable companies, you do not need to worry, as after every downturn the market will reach new highs. However, during downturn you will experience paper loss in your portfolio, sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and tide through. Also during the downturn, it is a very good opportunity to buy at a very good price.

Hi there, I am 59 years old this year and currently have $310k in OA, $18k in SA and have already set aside the FRS sum back in 2016. My house is paid off entirely and no plans to upgrade anymore. Any advice in my situation?

I am 40 years old with $100k avail for investment, prefers capital protection with some growth. I already set aside 6 months of emergency funds and not needing the $100k in 5 years. What to invest?

I am 30 years old and thinking of starting to build a dividend portfolio. Is the current stock market valuation too high for me to start now?

Risk Management, what should you do to protect your investment portfolio from market crash. Should I set a stop loss (Account value shield/Trailing/Fixed SL)?
