Making Sense of Market Headlines: Geopolitics, Tariffs, and Long-Term Investing | Ep 2
How should you react when headlines scream about the next market crisis?
In episode 2 of Long Story Short, Andy Pratt and Adam Newman tackle the questions they hear most from clients: Should I worry about what's happening in the Middle East? Are tariffs going to tank my portfolio? Is this market rally getting too frothy?
Drawing from their daily conversations with investors, Andy and Adam provide historical context and practical perspective for today's headlines.
We cover:
- Why geopolitical events rarely derail markets long-term (with data going back decades)
- The real story behind the April tariff selloff and recovery
- How investor psychology has changed since the 2008 financial crisis
- Why corrections happen as frequently as your birthday
- The difference between trading noise and actual investment signals
- Why pessimism sounds smart but optimism wins in investing
