If you are a stock investor, consider strategies such as placing stop-loss orders to reduce losses in a volatile market, subscribing to services that email you company specific news as it happens, and setting up loss review trigger points to review your investment.
As with all positions, but especially with more volatile stocks like mining companies, be mindful of risk managent and place a stop-loss order in line with your risk tolerance.
The loss of company pensions, longer lifespans, concerns over Social Security and a volatile investing world are among the forces that have made planning for a financially secure retirement more challenging than ever.
