The media, not unlike the market, can take a toll on our emotions. Our clients know that it's OK to feel these emotions, but it is never OK to act on these emotions. Investing and emotions do not go well together; in fact, they can cause irreparable damage.
Jim Parker ends his piece on a note that we believe everyone could benefit from:
"The world is far from perfect. The human race faces major challenges. But Just as it is important to be realistic and aware of the downside of our condition, we must also recognize the major advances that we are marking.
Just as there is reason to for caution, there is always room for hope. And keeping those good things in mind can help when you feel overwhelmed by all the bad news."
