FYI: If you’re an individual investor, you have a lot to be thankful for.
The recent U.S. market rally is plenty of reason to feel good as the calendar hits the holidays, but that’s a bit like feeling thankful on Thanksgiving because there’s a good football game on television. Yes, you may be happy to watch it, but the greater joy — and reason to give thanks — is that you can share the experience with family and friends.
The things investors should be grateful for are less tied to short-term results and more to how they can succeed in all conditions over time. They are like the side dishes on a Thanksgiving table: they can be shared and passed around and there’s enough for everyone. Moreover, like holiday traditions, they are there every year, in all conditions.
Happy Thanksgiving,
Ted
