Patience and Persistence in the Markets | AWM Insights #159

The S&P 500 is up more than 20% since it hit its low last year. Market conditions have improved since then with CPI inflation coming in at 4%, and the Federal Reserve pausing rate hikes this week.There is a huge lesson to learn from the market’s short-term performance. Patience and persistence are key to any investor’s long-term well-being, and those qualities are rewarded. Markets are forward-looking, and even though conditions may have looked gloomy 8 months ago, withdrawing from the market and waiting it out on the sidelines would have led to missing out on the rally that we just witnessed.Timing markets and playing the guessing game usually leads to missing out on these great periods and causes a high level of stress and friction. Patience and persistence can save you from that!Have questions for an upcoming episode? Want to get free resources, book giveaways, and AWM gear? Want to hear about when we release new episodes?
