10 分钟Here's your money briefing for Thursday, May 29th.
I'm Mariana Aspuru for The Wall Street Journal.
You may have been tempted to make some big changes in your portfolio after last month's market volatility.
But some investors are seeing it as a reason to stay put.
Particularly in a moment like this where the headlines and the short-term swings can be maybe nauseating to watch,
it might serve those investors well to focus on the long term as opposed to these day-to-day developments.
We'll talk to Wall Street Journal reporter Hannah Aaron Lang about how some investors are using this moment to test their appetite for risk.
That's after the break.
The market bounced back in April.
So some investors are trying to decide if they should take the second chance at cashing out.
Wall Street Journal reporter Hannah Aaron Lang joins me to talk about it.
Hannah, you wrote about how this is a possible do-over for investors.
Tell me why is that?
We've had a moment in markets recently where we just experienced what I would call extreme volatility.
And it stood in pretty stark.
contrast to what we saw stocks do in 2023 and 2024 overall.
Those were two pretty good years for investors.
If you were an individual investor, not too actively managing your portfolio,
you saw pretty reliable and steady gains over the course of those two years.
And that's very different from what we saw happen in the spring of 2025.
