I watch CNBC from 6AM to 3 or 4..... it's "on" but it's background noise. If you listened to the talking heads -- you'd sell one minute and be buying the next.... ditto the "papers" and subscription "services".

This is why I have pounded the table to ignore all that noise -- it's trader talk!

Buy what you know -- collect a dividend -- watch it grow over time..... if you own 10 stocks 3 may be winners.... and they'll change places like a good horse race.

Calm down and think longer term.
