Episode 3254: Julien Saunders explains how constant monitoring of your portfolio undermines rational decision-making by feeding fear and short-term thinking. By understanding the motivations behind daily market moves, often driven by algorithms, chart-watchers, or impatient investors, you can focus on long-term business ownership and avoid being swayed by noise that has little to do with a company’s true value. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://richandregular.com/the-high-fructose-corn-syrup-of-your-401k/ Quotes to ponder: "The more you are dominated by these fears, the less rational you are."
