In this episode, President and Senior Financial Planner Paul L. Moffat and co-host Director of Financial Planning Jordan Naffa tackle the distraction and anxiety caused by sensational financial headlines. From tariff disputes to market drops, the media thrives on fear and urgency, often prompting investors to make emotional, short-term decisions that can derail long-term success.

Paul and Jordan share examples from recent years, highlight the psychology behind headline-driven reactions, and explain why tuning out the noise is essential for protecting your portfolio. They also discuss how having a professional “referee” between you and your investments can help you stay disciplined when markets get volatile.

In this episode:

●     Headlines are designed to capture attention, not guide your financial plan.

●     Media often plays on emotions like fear, greed, and urgency to drive clicks and sales.

●     Successful investors focus on discipline and long-term strategy, not daily news cycles.

●     Emotional decision-making can be reduced by working with a trusted financial advisor.

●     Your financial success is built on sticking to your plan, not reacting to headlines.

Market swings don’t just test your portfolio; they test your emotions. How you react can determine the difference between long-term success and costly mistakes.

In this episode, President and Senior Financial Planner Paul L. Moffat and co-host Director of Financial Planning Jordan Naffa discuss how emotions influence financial decision-making and why mastering them is crucial to achieving investment success. As human beings, we’re wired to feel fear, excitement, greed, pride, and anxiety—but when those emotions drive market moves, they can sabotage even the best strategies.

Paul and Jordan share lessons from 2025’s market volatility, explain how to identify your emotional triggers, and outline ways to maintain a “state of prepared readiness.” From prepping yourself for downturns to distinguishing between self-worth and net worth, this conversation provides practical tools to keep your plan—and your mindset—on track. 

In this episode:

●     Fear, greed, guilt, pride, and envy are natural—but dangerous—in investing.

●     A resilient portfolio can help you stay calm during downturns.

●     Preconditioning for volatility builds confidence and clarity.

●     Your self-worth should never be tied to your net worth.

●     A trusted financial advisor can act as a “referee” for emotionally charged decisions.
