Far more investors would do well if they cared less about the ‘breaking news’ everyday.
Let’s do a quick test, can you remember the 10 biggest breaking news of last year. You see?
When you zoom out, you don’t care much what happened over the past year.
What you always care is what’s going to happen? And that keeps you anxious.
My anxiety dropped the day I stopped worrying about where the market would be. I just buy quality businesses. Hold on to them. Buy more when they are down. Enjoy when they are up.
Why to complicate investing by trying to ‘predict’ everything. Keep it simple.
Buy. Hold. Buy more. Repeat. Rejoice.
