War Does Nothing For Your Investments: "Lose The News"

TedTed
in Fund Discussions
FYI: One of the concerns for investors is how markets keep powering higher despite all of the geopolitical turmoil: the grinding Syrian civil war that has spilled into Iraq, the clash between Israel and Gaza, the Crimea annexation and now the confrontation between Russia and Ukraine.
That thinking gets the issue precisely backward. The proper question to ask is, “Why should investors care about geopolitics?”

Ted
