Downward price action can prove psychologically impactful to the average investor/trader. Here is how I avoid the negative impacts and relish in cheaper prices: 1. Take the drawdown: it helps build ice water in the veins, otherwise known as resiliency, intestinal fortitude. Your portfolio almost demands a period of stickwithitness in order to compound returns annually. 2. Accept the things that drive markets 1) inflation trend and 2) earnings over time. No, their is no plunge protection team or Fed driven equity market liquidity. These are NOT THINGS, they are simply things people say, because they heard other people say them, even without providing the plumbing structure. 3. Financial media is entertainment, and there is no such thing as an EXPERT, unless you believe the people that always under perform the market on these programs should be what you aim to achieve with your results, expert under performance. 4. Surround yourself with long-term thinkers whom are optimists by nature. 5. Down is good, buy low, up is simply better, take your profits. If it is truly investing capital, it's always a win/win mentality. A few from my top 10 savvy investing practices, accrued over my 25 years of investing in stocks, real estate, and private equity.

Every single person, as part of their college degree should have to work at least 1-month during holiday season at retail and 1-month in-class public school system. Would eliminate 90% of political posts on X and elsewhere, as well as temper the American discord!

As discussed in 2025 Outlook report by Finom Group, revisited this past weekend +65% gain from 2-yr low finds price action muddling over next 3 months ( $SPX down December, nowhere since November 2024) Gets much better 6 & 12 months forward from signal date/price $ES_F $SPY $QQQ $NYA $IWM $DIA $VOO (inspired by @SubuTrade )

While forward Earnings estimates undergo the typical downward revisions, they are doing so at far less negative rate than median or average periods. Analysts not only believe current estimates are rational against macro-backdrop, but might be too soft come Q1 2025 reporting. #investing #SPX500 #profits #economy #Earnings

NOT A BUBBLE: One of the MAJOR differences between late 1990s/Dotcom period and Today's/AI period is that market cap concentration rose in both periods, but net income has only risen alongside market cap concentration during the AI period. $SPX $SPY $QQQ $NVDA $SOXX $AMZN $AAPL

The BIG story for Q4 earning season isnt percentage of corps. beating estimates but by HOW MUCH they are beating Beat Rate nearly 2X average beat rate, since 2007. 2025 estimates may not fully reflect EPS and Margin momentum, supporting markets given tariff tape bombs. $SPX $ES_F $SPY $QQQ $AAPL $IWM $NYA $NVDA
