Another day where we still don’t have final election results. Let’s continue to take our minds off of things with some more great posts. It’s important to have the sound perspective, and these posts definitely help you stay level headed.
Here’s what I’ve been reading this morning:
‘The Plan Remains the Same Regardless of the News’ – Mullooly Asset Show
- We recorded this video on Monday, the election was on Tuesday, and here we are linking to it on Thursday. The reason we can do this without knowing the results of the election is because the message DOES NOT CHANGE!
‘Even if We Knew’ – Michael Batnick – The Irrelevant Investor
- A constant reminder from Michael that even if we know the outcome of an event, we still wouldn’t know how the market is going to react. Whether that’s a pandemic or a presidential election, predicting market moves is futile.
‘Everybody Lies: Pollsters Edition’ – Ben Carlson – A Wealth of Common Sense
- People lie. And people lie all the time, especially when it comes to surveys. Ben takes a look at the state of political polls after this last election and what happened this time around. It’s a tough spot to be in.
‘This is Your Brain on Uncertainty’ – Sarah Newcomb – Morningstar
- As we sit in a limbo-scenario with the election, Sarah wrote about ways to work your brain around the uncertainty. Avoiding short-term thinking, doomsday scenarios and more can help you remain calm.
ENJOY!
