Pathfinder|Position Trading & Dividend Investing

If you're an investor, you need to face barrage of false alarms every day. More so in geopolitical situation like today. Also since negativity sells well, many exaggerate every single event and attribute meaning even if there is none. Conspiracy theories have become main stream. Despite so much information being available, becoming very difficult to know what is correct. If you've time and interest, just read history of last 100 years. The world has faced lot of difficult problems. It would continue to face. Don't worry about the end of world. If it is going to happen, there is nothing we can do about it. Plan and act as if the world would exist tomorrow. If it ends, it ends for all of us. Warren Buffett has been investing for more than 80 years. He has witnessed most part of last 100 years history. Listen to what he says: "Over the long term, the stock market news will be good. In the 20th century, the United States endured two world wars and other traumatic and expensive military conflicts; the Depression; a dozen or so recessions and financial panics; oil shocks; a flu epidemic; and the resignation of a disgraced president. The Dow Jones Industrials advanced from 66 to 11,497 in the 20th Century, a staggering 17,320% increase. And don’t forget that shareholders received substantial dividends throughout the century as well. You might think it would have been impossible for an investor to lose money during a century marked by such an extraordinary gain. But some investors did. The hapless ones bought stocks only when they felt comfort in doing so and then proceeded to sell when the headlines made them queasy."
