Every year, without exception, there's always a new headline, a fresh "fear," or just another reason to sell.
Whether it's a new geopolitical tension, economic concerns, or the latest updates on DeepSeek and tariffs, there's always something that seems to provide something to “worry about.”
But here’s the truth. Investors have dealt with headlines like these for decades. It’s nothing new.
Our friend Ryan Detrick put together a great chart that perfectly illustrates this point.
If you get too caught up in the noise, it’s easy to fall into panic and lose sight of the bigger picture.
After all, the market is a discounting mechanism and is likely ahead of any headline.
The key is to block out the distractions and stick with your plan. Risk management, discipline and your rules.
Don’t let these headlines push you into making decisions based on fear. Stay focused, and let the market tell you when it’s time to act.
