Charles Schwab built a Fortune 500 company whose value compounded at an average rate of 19% a year since IPO in 1987; twice the growth rate of the S&P500. The customer was at the heart of everything Schwab did. He entered a race that for fear of revenue loss, the large incumbent brokers didn\u2019t want to be involved with, a lucrative niche providing customers with cut-price stock transactions which he exploited and expanded with new technologies. Charles Schwab tells his story in a recent book, \u2018Invested – Changing forever the way Americans invest<\/a>\u2019.<\/p>\n

Following are his views on the Stock Market & Investing<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the stock market, there are no guarantees. You can guarantee service, costs, quality, and certainly integrity. But you can\u2019t guarantee performance; Risk is just part of the deal.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think human nature deals very well with the patience and strong stomach investing requires. We\u2019re wired for fight or flight.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI have now seen nine crashes in my life, and it still troubles me that investors react this way [sit on the sidelines], because it always ends the same. The market roars back and leaves too many investors sitting on the sidelines missing out. Sometimes I wish I could just tie them to their chairs to help them ride out the temporary storm. To this day our advice is the same: \u2018Panic is not a strategy, stick with your investment plan, and don\u2019t let emotions get the better of you<\/em>.\u2019 Heeding that advice when you\u2019re in full panic mode is just not easy. People aren\u2019t wired to be good investors.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe most natural instinct is to run for the door. To sell. Sell everything,\u2019 I said [in 2008 when reaching out to clients]. \u2018You\u2019ve got to fight that emotion because you want to be able to hang on for the recovery. Which has happened every time we have had an experience like this in my career and that goes back now some 40 years \u2026 nine different cracks in the market like this. Smart investing is about taking it year by year. It is a little bit of a nightmare, but we handle those by living through them and looking forward to better days.\u2019 Did I get the timing right with my advice? Not exactly. You never do. And that\u2019s exactly the point\u2026 Timing the market is impossible. As the saying goes, it\u2019s not timing the market that counts, but time in <\/em>the market.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSuccessful investing is not easy, that\u2019s the bottom line. It involves so much of your emotions, your sense of self-worth, your ego.\u201d<\/p>\n
