“Don’t make long-term investment decisions based on short-term events. It will only lead to losses.”
Have the unpredictable market swings in recent months been giving you whiplash?
Today, Joey Loss and Adam Van Wie unpack the current state of the NASDAQ, S&P 500, and emerging markets, all while navigating through the geopolitical storms fueled by tariff threats and unexpected European Central Bank decisions. They also give their thoughts on looming recession fears from Wall Street and beyond, as well as the impact of extended tariffs on various sectors of society.
Throughout the conversation, Adam and Joey stress the importance of understanding how shifting your focus from short-term market jitters to long-term investment strategies can make all the difference in your portfolio (and your sanity).
You can’t rely on textbook theories and “rules” when managing a portfolio. After all, the real world is unpredictable. It requires us to embrace pragmatism and the ability to pivot quickly if we don’t want to get left behind.
At the same time, our decisions as investors must be based on a sound, long-term strategy with an emphasis on diversification. That way, we protect ourselves from wild swings in the market, not only in today’s turbulent geopolitical and economic environment, but tomorrow’s as well.
