How to Think About the News

Hey friend,

Let’s see how markets have been moving.

The Daily Direction

Note: A generally lower close yesterday as worries increased about whether the debt ceiling standoff would be resolved in time. Only the NASDAQ closed higher – and several indexes’ directions flipped downward.

The Daily Nugget

The news is just data points – not a source of truth.

All trading is essentially interpreting data to estimate its probable effects on the market.

The news represents just ONE source of data – a source that’s frequently full of bias.

You shouldn’t underestimate its impact on the market – it’s very real. But you shouldn’t overvalue it either.

Be objective about it, and most importantly – don’t make emotional decisions in reaction to the news.

You know what type of investor doesn’t make emotional decisions based on the news?

The professionals working at the billion-dollar institutions. They simply can’t afford to.

And you can actually profit from their decisions – here’s how.
