Jul 15, 2026

Former professional basketball player and TradeWinds advisor Ralston Turner shares a lesson from his playing days that applies directly to investing: success isn’t about the fastest start, it’s about who sticks with the process when things get tough.

In this episode of Pocket-Sized Advice, Ralston breaks down why market volatility doesn’t mean something’s wrong, and shares one simple question to ask before making any change to your investment plan: Did my goals change, or am I reacting to how I feel right now?

Whether you’re navigating a rough stretch in the market or just need a reminder to stay the course, this quick, practical tip can help you keep perspective and stick to a plan built around your actual goals, not the headlines.
