We are seeing strong evidence of robust growth in the U.S. economy, but much of the news is about economic weakness. The reason is that bad news attracts more attention than good news, so the news media focuses on the bad news.

When the economic and market headlines are predominately negative, there tends to be a larger amount of money in cash positions, not invested in the market, suggesting higher market levels are coming. As economic and market news becomes more positive, more of that money is invested. Once the market news is predominately positive and optimistic about the future, much or most of that money has been invested and the likelihood of a major market decline rises.

So-called “cryptocurrencies” are, almost without exception, not currencies. Rather they are more like collectable, non-government issued coins with a fluctuating market value. They can be traded for specific goods or services in some cases, but do not normally qualify as money.

Long-term investing requires patience and the ability to see apparent losses appear in your portfolio. Presuming you have a well-diversified and well-balanced portfolio; time is on your side. Just as those who left a recent sports game just before the end missed an historic turnaround and victory, bailing out of a well-positioned portfolio in a down market historically has meant missing out on the gains that follow.
