We’re getting down to crunch time for tax season. The filing deadline is fast approaching, and if you haven’t gotten in contact with your tax preparer, we recommend you do so immediately! Casey wrote about the best way to work with an accountant in last week’s blog post.
Here’s what I’ve been reading this morning:
‘Say Less’ – Josh Brown – The Reformed Broker
- In a lot of cases, less is more. When it comes to predicting the financial future, it’s something advocate strongly against. Josh writes about how nobody knows how things like the war in Ukraine will end, and trying to make guesses will only end up hurting investors.
- Inflation is higher than it’s been in decades. While the stock market has been volatile for a few months for a number of reasons, investing in the stock market long term remains possibly the best defense against high inflation.
‘How War Ripples Through Commodity Markets’ – Ryan Dezember – The Wall Street Journal
- We’ve seen how the war in Ukraine has impacted the equity markets over the last few weeks, but this article focuses on the market for different commodities. From wheat to oil, a handful of commodities have seen their markets take off.
‘Via Negativa (What Should Fund Investors Not Do?)’ – Joe Wiggins – Behavioural Investment
- Investors are constantly trying to find ways to improve their performance. What MORE can I do to maximize my returns? In this post, Joe writes about things NOT to do that may be even more helpful.
ENJOY!
