It Really is More Volatile

The Irrelevant Investor

We've been talking a lot on the podcast about market volatility. A listener emailed us with an interesting take: "I am inclined to think that we all went through quite a volatile period in our personal lives over the last few years and are now projecting that onto our views of the market without any concrete evidence." If you're not watching the market between the hours of 9:30-4, it might not seem like the market is acting all that unusual.

Reframing Volatility

The Irrelevant Investor

It's hard to stay optimistic when you're losing money. When markets get volatile, we often hear people say, "ignore the noise." But telling people to ignore the noise is telling people not to be people. It's not practical advice. It's important to contextualize short-term losses, but we can do better than this. Morgan Housel spoke about this idea, helping to reframe how we think about bear markets and recessions.
