When markets are calm, some of us just sit back and let our investments do their thing. After all, if you have a reasonable investment plan in place and markets are ticking along nicely, you may decide to leave well enough alone.
Fast forward to another day when there's lots of action in the markets and things might feel different. News stories are focused on big ups and downs, the media is highlighting hot new industries and investment ideas.
