When it comes to investment decisions, a financial advisor must evaluate the client's investment goals. They also must evaluate the client's willingness to handle the ebbs and flows that come with the stock market.

For your initial post, imagine you are a financial advisor working with a client and the stock market is crashing. Your client is panicking. Answer the following questions:

• What would you advise your client to do in the short term? Why?
• What would you advise them to do in the long term? Why?
• How will you reassure your client?
