Mark Hulbert: When Investors Panicked In The Past Year, They Lost Money

FYI: Do you remember what you were worried about exactly a year ago?

If you’re like almost every investor I ask, you have no idea.

And that’s one big reason why you most likely haven’t beaten the stock market over the past 12 months. If you were the type of investor who did remember, you’d appreciate how investors’ obsessions change as often as the weather. And with that realization comes the recognition that you won’t beat the market by constantly reacting to news headlines.
Regards,
Ted
