Fear can be a great motivator or a powerful roadblock for many investors<\/a>. In fact, you may be familiar with the famous quote linked to Warren Buffett: \u201cBe fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful.\u201d The advice may sound simple, but it can bring with it unexpected complexities and more decisions to make as an investor.<\/p>\n

But it may not be that clear cut. GOBankingRates talked to some financial experts for their advice about being fearful as an investor<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cA down market might be the best time to buy assets for the lowest price possible,\u201d said Annie Cole, Ed.D., money coach and founder of Money Essentials for Women<\/a>. \u201cWhile a down market can mean that your personal assets, such as home value or stock value, take a hit for a period of time, it also means that assets you don\u2019t already own are lowering in price \u2014 the perfect time for you to buy for a bargain.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFear is the worst enemy of investors<\/a>,\u201d said Robert Johnson, Ph.D., professor at the Heider College of Business at Creighton University<\/a>. \u201cThe average investor underperforms the market because they panic.\u201d<\/p>\n

Johnson added that perhaps the biggest weakness in any stock investor is the person who believes they can predict market rises and falls. Johnson said attempting to time the\u00a0 market is \u201cfools gold<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe best way to counteract this tendency to time the market is to practice dollar cost averaging in a broad based stock market mutual fund or ETF<\/a> \u2014 like one that tracks the S&P 500,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cThat means you are consistently buying into the market whether it has headed up, down or sideways.\u201d<\/p>\n
