For investors wondering whether they should dump their stocks because they need the money, I have only this to say: If you need the money today, you should have sold years ago. That advice holds whether the market is up or down. Even though a lot of novice investors claim they are in stocks "for the long haul", that often turns out to be nonsense. It is easy to be brave and keep buying during a bull market. But what if we’re in for mediocre stocks market gains for the next 10 years?
For some people, drops as steep as we’ve seen in Asian markets in recent months are too much to take physically. I’m a big believer in the sleep-at-night theory. No investment is worth keeping if it robs you of your sleep. If you can’t stomach 50 percent losses in your stock portfolios, get out now and save yourself a heart attack. You may not buy that mansion in Spain, but you’ll live to see your granddaughter’s graduation. Even if you sleep soundly, the prospect of a potentially prolonged bear market begs the most basic investment question: Why do you own the stocks that you do? Now, a few simple rules of investing apply:
If you own stock in a company, but don’t know what it actually does to make a profit, you can have only yourself to blame if the share price
plunges
.
If your company doesn’t make money and has no reasonable prospect of doing so soon, sell. Buying things that have no intrinsic value is fun with, say, baseball cards. But this is real money we’re talking about. Earnings and dividends paid out to stockholders are the only things that can tell you in the long term whether owning a stock is worthwhile.
Most importantly, if you need the money in the next three to four years, look into buying bonds, either individually or through a mutual fund. Stocks in good businesses that are well run will eventually rise and outperform bonds, but maybe not as fast as you might need them to. Even if you plunge into the stock market without being precisely sure why, it’s never too late to think about your holdings. Remember, the worst stocks not only keep falling but can approach zero. The biggest losers are those who refuse to jump off what is clearly a sinking ship. They die proud and valiant deaths, but they’re dead in the water all the same.
Which of the following best defines the word "plunge"(Line 2, Paragraph 3)?
选项
A、Descend.
B、Stock.
C、Plug.
D、Plough.
答案
A
解析
下列哪一项是对第三段第二行的plunge一词的最佳解释?[A]下降。[B]股票。[C]插入。[D]耕地。本题可采用代入法解题。第三段指出:如果你有一家公司的股票,却不知道该公司实际是靠什么来盈利的,你也只能责怪你自己,如果股价……,带入答案[A]descend(下降),符合原文,为正确答案。[B]stock(股票),名词,与上下文没有关系.[C]plug(插入),不符合文意.[D]plough(耕地),与文章无关。
