No matter what generation you are, here is some advice to take into account for your next investment move.“Investing has taught me a few things that might be helpful to Gen X investors. First off: patience,” said Steven Kibbel, financial planner, entrepreneur and chief editorial advisor at Gold IRA Companies.“It’s simple but easy to overlook,” Kibbel explained. “Markets will go up and down and while it’s tempting to react to every piece of news, real success often comes from sticking to your original plan. Trying to jump on every shift can chip away at your returns. Imagine investing as planting a tree. You water it, give it sunlight, but you don’t dig it up every time the weather changes.”Be Aware: Making This Common Investing Mistake? Experts Share the Easy (but Urgent) Fix“Let’s not be coy, millennials are the most active population on online platforms, which honestly makes it easier to get various financial services and use multiple tools as well against the aims of Gen X investors,” said Constantin Tonagel, financial advisor with MarketBulls.“I would encourage them to utilize these emerging technologies, including algorithmic trading and investing apps, but purposefully and strategically,” Tonagel said.“There’s an argument to be made of using technology in investment but always strategize it with adequate research and a focus on investment goals. Planning is key,” he added. “There’s a reason why tools such as these exist, they’re just as effective as the strategy behind deploying them with a view to leverage technology but never lose sight of objectives.”“Yes, Gen X investors have been around for a while, but the younger generation does have some things up their sleeves that are not so easy to come by purposely or by our Gen X folks, which are assets like cryptocurrencies and fractional ownership of real estate for investments,” Tonagel said.Terms and Privacy PolicyPrivacy & Cookie SettingsMore InfoS&P 5005,980.87 -1.85 (-0.03%)Dow 3042,171.66 -44.14 (-0.10%)Nasdaq19,546.27 +25.18 (+0.13%)Russell 20002,112.96 +11.00 (+0.52%)VIX20.14 -1.46 (-6.76%)Gold3,391.30 -16.80 (-0.49%)PortfolioSign in to access your portfolioSign inTop gainersTMC TMC the metals company Inc. 6.75 +1.32 (+24.29%)SRRK Scholar Rock Holding Corporation 36.32 +5.17 (+16.60%)OSCR Oscar Health, Inc. 18.77 +2.66 (+16.51%)COIN Coinbase Global, Inc. 295.29 +41.44 (+16.32%)SYM Symbotic Inc. 35.70 +4.54 (+14.57%)Top losersTMDX TransMedics Group, Inc. 124.00 -12.20 (-8.96%)TCOM Trip.com Group Limited 56.54 -4.13 (-6.81%)FRHC Freedom Holding Corp. 140.43 -9.82 (-6.54%)EXLS ExlService Holdings, Inc. 45.21 -2.85 (-5.93%)MA Mastercard Incorporated 538.73 -30.72 (-5.39%)Most activeNVDA NVIDIA Corporation 145.48 +1.36 (+0.94%)TSLA Tesla, Inc. 322.05 +5.77 (+1.82%)LCID Lucid Group, Inc. 2.2200 +0.0700 (+3.26%)INTC Intel Corporation 21.49 +0.69 (+3.32%)SOFI SoFi Technologies, Inc. 15.36 +0.93 (+6.44%)Earnings eventsTrending tickersCRCL Circle Internet Group 199.59 +50.44 (+33.82%)COIN Coinbase Global, Inc. 295.29 +41.44 (+16.32%)V Visa Inc. 340.38 -17.46 (-4.88%)GOOG Alphabet Inc. 173.98 -3.25 (-1.83%)OSCR Oscar Health, Inc. 18.77 +2.66 (+16.51%)Top economic eventsPowered by Money.com - Yahoo may earn commission from the links above.
