Have you ever come across a news article that highlights the latest investment opportunities? Or seen news reports warning about certain stocks that could impact your portfolio?
The real question you should be asking is if that information truly benefits your portfolio and long-term goals.
In this episode, Robert Curtiss discusses the importance of a well-diversified portfolio and long-term investment goals. He reveals the role of the media in investment decisions, how it can generate panic and lead to bad investment choices as well as how the media focuses on viewership rather than good investment advice.
Rob explores:
- His very own noise-canceling headphones analogy and how it relates to the media when it comes to investments
- The Objective, Unemotional, and Rules-Based (OUR) process and its approach to creating a defined view of investment data
- The value of researching your options and filtering out the noise
- Reasons it’s important to pay attention to trends in the stock market
- Different sectors to invest in depending on short and long-term investment goals
- And more!
