You may have heard that it’s important to take the emotions out of investing. But is this true for all emotions?

Certainly, some emotions can potentially harm your investment success. Consider fear. If the financial markets are going through a down period – which is actually a normal part of the investment landscape – you might be so afraid of sustaining losses that you sell even the investments that have good prospects and are suitable for your needs.

First National Bank, 112 Cherry St., Bluffton, will host a firecracker Friday cookout. It includes hot dogs, chips, drinks and more.

Service is in the bank parking lot from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and it is free and open to the public.

In the meantime, have a nice and slow Fourth of July weekend

Letter to Icon viewers:

The Icon wishes all viewers a happy and long Fourth of July weekend. Our own celebration begins a little early, as we will take a few days off between now and the first of the week. Don’t worry, stories will continue to appear, only on a slower schedule. And, some regular features take the week off.

In the meantime, please consider yourself invited as our special guests to a free and open-to-the-public Icon summer party.
