Local financial advisor suggests stock investors not panic

Dragani said despite the stock market's recent financial yo-yo, now may not be the time to pull out of your investments. For some clients, stock prices can also be a buying opportunity that can pay off in the long-run. 

Dragani said selling quality assets too quickly due to the economic panic could be a mistake that may cause one to miss out on potential gains if the market does recover. 

“When the market goes up after times like these and you pull out in a panic, you won't get the cut. That's why people who do have a financial advisor usually do so much better than investors who don't, in the end,“ said Dragani. 

Stocks aren't the only thing people need to consider having a financial advisor for, Dragani said. His business also helps clients with things like estate planning, college planning, tax efficiencies, retirement savings, long-term care planning, life insurance and more. 

Planning ahead for financial security is something many overlook until it is too late. Just like the stock market's unpredictable ups and downs, health issues and the rising cost of health care can be devastating to the wallet. 

“I want nothing more than to see my clients succeed and not just with stocks, but also protecting their assets so they can be passed on to their loved ones instead of lost on devastating expenses like long-term care facilities that can wipe away someone's entire life-savings quickly. Financial security and success is about planning ahead for the unpredictable,“ Dragani said.
