The Irrelevant Investor

Stocks have been near all-time highs for a while now. The S&P 500 has gone 322 days without experiencing a 5% drawdown, colloquially known as a "pullback." Stocks haven't just been hanging out near all-time highs, they've been printing new ones daily. In 2017, 47 out of 201 sessions have closed at an all-time high. It's been a remarkably smooth ride.

There is a fine line between admiration and jealousy. We love watching people succeed, but not too much. It was easy to root for Tom Brady when he won his first Super Bowl. But outside of Patriots fans, was there a person in America that was rooting for him to win his fifth ? We love supporting the underdog until the underdog wins a championship and signs Kevin Durant.

A frequent question asked of podcast guests is, "What do you know now that you wish you knew twenty years ago?" Twenty years ago I was twelve, but five years ago I was buying stocks that were going down and shorting stocks that were going up. I wish I knew how foolish this was. I loathe talking to non-market people about investing because I don't know anything about their favorite stock, and the "what do you think about the markets" is a question for which I lack a satisfying answer.
