Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin · How to Invest During a Crisis: Oil, the Dollar, and What to Do Right Now with Lauren Simmons · 1 Apr 2026 podcast

Not myself, but I think a lot of investors that are more new, they want to make more impulsive decisions.

And you have to when we're thinking about investing overall, look at the long term, bigger picture.

And so what are your goals?

What is it that you want to achieve?

Yes, we look at the noise.

Yes, we reposition if there are catastrophic things that are taking place that I don't mean like, you know, in society, society globally, but in the markets, like, you obviously don't want to deplete what you have started investing or

looking at your 401ks, but I wouldn't on a moment by moment react to every noise that is happening.

I mean, realistically, if there wasn't so much volatility in the market, you should be looking at your portfolio on a quarterly basis.

But while there are things that are happening in real time, you have to make decisions on what makes the most sense.

So if we look, for instance, at oil, which in general, I think the rule, like it's always been a volatile commodity.

I think in general, like max, you should have maybe three to five percent of your portfolio allocated to oil industry or to energy.

Yeah.

And for any commodity.

Yeah, I would say in general, because a lot of them are volatile.

But oil specifically, like their history, there's no...

Unless you are someone who is investing to time the market and you feel like you're great at doing that.

No, we're not about that life.

Yeah, then there's really no reason to have such a larger allocation for that in your portfolio.

So usually when we're in a crisis, right, or when there's war, the dollar strengthens.

And in the last several weeks, and the dollar has been pretty unstable for the past 12 months, but in the last several weeks, the dollar has risen about one and a half, 2%.
