In a bull run powering through its 10th year, market timing has become an onerous task. One week stocks are climbing to reflect a stellar pace of earnings growth. The next they’re in the red as yields jump and trade talks with China stall. The cost is less to the wallet than the psyche, after two years of uninterrupted gains.



THIS is such an important part of investing to remember....... you'll get it - the longer you're an investor. That whole "psyche" part -- is the part I've been trying to break down for you all, for the last however many years here.....

What helps the psyche the most??

Remembering that you bought great companies -- with real earnings -- that you like -- that distribute the earnings to you (you are a company owner!) -- with charts that are lower on the left and higher on the right....

Or --- we can go to sleep with?


I paid up huge for "pick a name" -- those SOB's better have a great quarter tomorrow or I'm screwed...
