This show is a re-broadcast of our March 20, 2020 interview with Brian Cochran. He is a Certified Financial Planner with John Moore Associates. My favorite quote from Brian in this interview is, “Time in the market is more important than timing the market.” He shares with us five principals for investing in a down market. I was also encouraged when he challenged our listeners with this statement, “What a time to trust God, assess priorities, spend extra time with family, and be generous to people in need.” For more information about investing, go to https://www.johnmoore.com/.
