I remember talking to a friend a few days ago about how every time there's news about global tensions, the markets seem to react immediately. It made me realize how difficult it is to know what to do with investments during uncertain times.

Some people say it's best to stay invested and ignore the short-term noise. Others move money into gold, bonds, or simply hold more cash until things settle down.

I'm not looking for financial advice, just curious about how people actually handle situations like this. Do you stick to your long-term plan, or do you change your strategy when global uncertainty starts affecting the markets? I would love to hear what has worked for others and why.
