Today we’re kicking off a three-part series on building investing discipline — using crypto as the test case.

Here's what to expect:
- Today: How to keep your emotions in check when volatility spikes.
- Wednesday: How to read performance charts without falling into traps.

| The Hardest Thing to Do When the Market’s Crashing |
By Justin Jaffe
Whatever the asset class, major market drops can trigger a survival instinct to “hit eject” before it gets worse. But depending on your time horizon, acting on those impulses can turn a temporary downturn into a permanent loss. And with crypto, choppy waters are the natural habitat.
The stronger approach is to stick to your gameplan, accepting that market swings are a regular part of the deal and prioritizing your financial goals. If you’re playing the long game, you’ll want a strategy that can survive volatility without forcing you into an emotional exit. |

The first-quarter earnings season is officially here.
- The news: The first-quarter earnings season kicks off in earnest this week. We’ll hear from big banks including JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, and Citigroup as well as blue chips like Johnson & Johnson, Netflix, and Pepsi.
- The context: In a macro environment dominated by shifting interest rate expectations, volatile oil prices, and sticky inflation, earnings results can shed light on how consumers and businesses are actually experiencing this economy.
- Your move: Pay close attention to what the banks say. If executives signal rising delinquencies or a significant slowdown in business, it could inject a fresh dose of caution into a market that is already on edge.
