Episode notes
Headlines Don't Predict Short-Term Markets
- Headlines about market peaks often reflect fear or click-chasing, not certainty.
- Brian Preston and Bo Hanson emphasize nobody truly knows short-term market direction and long-term trends matter more.
Control The Controllables
- Control the controllables: focus on behavior, savings, and risk tolerance instead of market predictions.
- Prioritize how much you save, your asset allocation, and your risk capacity to improve outcomes regardless of market moves.
Time Horizon Sharply Improves Win Rate
- The S&P 500's probability of being positive rises sharply with longer horizons: ~79% one-year, ~93% five-year.
- Zooming out reduces the apparent damage of past crashes and highlights the benefit of long horizons.
