Why do you own so many strategies?
Think of it like a great recipe — not a single ingredient

No single ingredient makes a great meal. The magic is in how they work together. Your portfolio is built the same way — each strategy has a specific job, and combined, they create something stronger than any one piece alone.

2000–2002

The S&P 500 fell ~49% peak-to-trough — why diversified stock portfolios still need a plan

2008

The stock market lost over 38% — why growth alone isn't enough

2022

Stocks (−19%) and bonds (−13%) both declined — exposing the limits of a two-asset portfolio

What you can count on

  • Your portfolio is built with your financial plan in mind.
  • Every strategy has a job — nothing ends up in your portfolio by accident.
  • We will review, adjust, and adapt together as your life changes.
What to do when markets drop

Volatility is normal. Having a plan before it happens is what separates confident investors from reactive ones.

1

Stay the course

Downturns are temporary. Your plan is long-term. Reacting to short-term noise is the most common — and costly — mistake investors make.

2

If cash is available, consider adding

The best prices come in the worst markets. If you have funds available, a down market may be an opportunity, not a crisis.

3

Schedule time with Dave

Review whether any market volatility has impacted your long-term financial plan.

“Your portfolio serves your financial plan — not the other way around.”

Book Time with David “WealthPlan” Warshaw

David Warshaw, CFP®

HI, I’m David Warshaw

In 2003, I graduated from Washington University in St. Louis with a double major in finance and accounting. After hearing a guest lecture from a local financial planner, I was inspired and had an inkling that this profession was for me. I officially started my financial advisory career a year later at Ameriprise Financial.

Over time, I developed the entrepreneurial spirit and launched The WealthPlan in 2011 as an independent advisor. In addition to being a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™, I hold both the Chartered Financial Consultant and Charted Life Underwriter designations.

I live in Great Neck, Long Island, with my wife Diana and our little daughter Sophia, a.k.a., The Sophinator!
