Discussion in this episode include:
- The focus of retail investors, including local news, conflicts, prices close to home, and talking heads like Ray Dalio.
- For individual investors, it’s hard to look past the noise to see if the fundamentals are sound for investing.
- The focus of institutional investors including earnings/profits, interest rates, and taxes.
- Generally, if companies are making money, big investors are happy to hold stock in those companies despite other happenings in the world.
- Our expectation of how the stock market will perform and how it does perform are often very different.
As always, focus on your long-term strategy! Trying to use information in the short-term to make decisions about your long-term investments can often be counterproductive. You can end up selling due to fear and then missing out on gains. No ones wants that!
