The Real Secret to Investing: Master Your Emotions, Not the Market
Markets move everyday. In a world this volatile, what's the best way to grow your wealth?
If you’re the type of person who checks the market every day, you’ll know how volatile markets are. One day it’s all green; the next, it feels like everything’s falling apart. It’s tempting to think you can buy low and sell high at the perfect time. But the truth is…
The market moves almost equally up and down. Over the past five years, the IHSG had almost the same number of up days and down days each year.
Yet during that same period, the IHSG gained almost 30%.
What does that tell us?
That short-term market movements are mostly noise. The real growth happens quietly over time. Trying to chase every opportunity can be draining, often leading to emotional decisions rather than rational ones. You might catch a few wins, but missing just a handful of strong days can make a big difference to your long-term returns.

That’s why it’s better to stay the course and focus on the bigger picture. Each dip or rally is just one small chapter in a much bigger story. When you stay invested:
You give your money time to grow.
You reduce the stress of trying to time every move.
You let compounding do its work.
