Something Is Always "Up"

No email next week. I’ll be traveling over the next five days so I’ll save you from having to read a roughly thrown together post.

While I’m MIA, here are a few bonus picks to keep you reading, learning, and laughing:

Let’s get into today’s piece 🤝

“If a company’s products taste good, buy the shares.” - Dividend Growth Investor

Today we are explaining why you should ignore “reasons to sell.”

These events are always happening, but constantly worrying about the next crash (that probably won’t occur) has ZERO benefit.

People spend so much time searching for a reason to worry that they psych themselves out of investing completely.

The stock market is a world of no guarantees, but the only guarantee is uncertainty.

Take a look at the chart below.

Save it to your phone, download it to your computer, copy it from google here, do what you need to do to see it clearly.

Ladies and gentlemen. Folks of the market. Young and old investors.

This chart doesn’t need much explaining. In short, there will always be a new market shattering event begging for your attention.

Over the last three years we have seen a pandemic, supply shortages, Russia invading Ukraine, and record levels of inflation (just to name a few).

But guess what, the S&P is currently sniffing a new all time high.

These people are my favorite.

*state weird fact “something’s not right.”

*point out what their co-worker said “market has topped.”

*gives random statistic “it’s happening.”

People will say these kinds of things for a year while the market recovers from one of it’s nastiest crashes in history. Fortunately, for us long term investors things are never as bad as they seem.

Here is a quick story of a conversation between me and a couple of friends last week. The convo was talking about investments and a few individual stocks.

One of the guys is always worried about something and said that he was “stacking cash.”

This was shortly followed by my other buddy stating “Dude, you have been stacking cash since I met you three years ago.”

*que me cracking up in the background

Stop worrying about a couple small cracks in the boat, because it will leave you sitting on the dock.

Share this post with a friend or someone who is always telling you why your investments are going to crash.

Making money from your investments isn’t guaranteed, and something will always be “up” but that’s just part of the game we play.

See you in two week killa. Thanks for reading. ~ Cade

Downsides to Skipping a Roth IRA for a Roth 401k - 5 minute YouTube video of the Money Guy Podcast discussing Roth IRA vs Roth 401ks. This was a dilemma I had when first setting up my 401k so thought it might be helpful to someone else.

10 Years of Money Wisdom - Unique thread by Shaan Puri (host of the My First Million Podcast and founder of The Milk Road) revealing his scratchpad of “money wisdom.” I’m a big fan of the fat pitch approach that he goes into depth on in this thread.

This sign needs to go in a museum.

I mean…there is kind of a point here.

It’s priced in bruh, famous last words.
