4. When you review your portfolio, do you focus more on the individual positions or the overall portfolio?

I am only concerned with the overall portfolio performance.

While the overall portfolio performance is important, I tend to focus primarily on the performance of individual positions in the portfolio.

Both are equally important to me.

5. How would you most likely react to losses in your portfolio?

I understand the portfolio value will fluctuate and that in order to achieve higher returns over a 5-10 year period, short-term losses are likely. I would continue to remain invested.

I am not sure how I would react.

During difficult periods I have a harder time sticking to my guns and feel safer taking a temporary defensive position until things improve.

Bought more.

Sold quickly to avoid further losses.

Continued to hold the investment.

Held too long then sold close to the bottom.

7. Is your ability to accept risk different now than it was before the stock market decline of 2008?

I am more concerned with risk today and inclined to invest more conservatively.

I can accept more risk today because the investment opportunities are better.

My willingness to take on risk is no different today than it was prior to the bear market.

8. Which of the following best describes your expectations for performance?

My performance should at least equal the stock market.

I am willing to accept a little lower return than the stock market in exchange for a little greater safety.

I don’t care what the stock market does as long as I can beat inflation at low risk.

My level of return doesn’t matter as long as I don’t lose money over any more than a few months.

I want to beat the stock market and am willing to assume above-average risk in pursuit of capital growth.

9. Which of the following best describes your expectations for performance?

I could handle being down over a three-year period, but not longer.

I could handle a one-year loss, but do not want to pursue a strategy that could result in longer periods of loss.

I could handle losses over one or two quarters, but would not be comfortable subjecting myself to longer down periods.

I don’t want to lose any money ever. I could handle only a very small loss over a few months at most.

I could accept being down over longer than three years if my long-term return potential was above average.
