Should Your Advisor Watch CNBC?

News or Noise? In our fast-paced, 24/7 news cycle, it can feel like a financial advisor's credibility hinges on keeping up with every daily headline. A tweet from a prominent news host, a new market prediction, or a breaking story from CNBC can make an advisor who isn't up to speed feel discredited. The question of whether an advisor should be a news junkie is at the heart of today's episode. Ben and Brent explore their differing approaches to information consumption. Brent keeps the news on in the background, believing it's essential to have a pulse on market sentiment. Ben, on the other hand, believes that tuning out the daily noise is key to long-term strategic thinking.
