Media-Induced Stock Market Panic

There’s a reason investors like Warren Buffet, Peter Lynch, and Thomas Gayner consistently beat the market, as well as a reason most individual investors regularly underperfom the S&P 500: psychology. Buffet looks long term at the strength of companies and the financial numbers. Average investors listen to and believe the panic and pump-and-dump financial media. Sure, most investors don’t like uncertainty, but the recent drop in the stock market is 99 percent driven by media hacks.

Trump tariffs could hurt the U.S. long term if they all remained in place, but it’s so overwhelmingly obvious he’s doing his Art of the Deal routine, which so far seems to be working pretty damn well. Yet, financial media, especially the lapdog tools at CNBC, are invested in globalism and destroying Trump. Thus, they’re pumping up the fear and uncertainty every chance they get, bringing on a parade of “experts” who only argue the anti-Trump side and who are NEVER called out for being dead wrong.

We should know and expect the routine by now. So, keep calm and stick to your long-term plan. Remember, volatility and large short-term market drops are awesome for the steady, long-term investors since they create bargain prices. BTW, have you noticed which stocks are getting the most pummeled by the panic-driven selloff? That’s right — the same A.I. and Magnificent 7 stocks they’ve been driving up to insane valuations. You’ve now learned another lesson in the art of pump-and-dump.
