Unlocking the Secret to Long-Term Gains 📊

In the investing world, short-term price action is the fast food of the market—quick, tempting, and sometimes downright deceiving.

Let's be clear: getting fixated on these short-term swings is like obsessing over daily weather changes while missing climate trends.

Sure, it's raining today, but what if we're in the middle of a decade-long drought?

I get it, the headlines shout doom every other day. Whether it's inflation fears, geopolitical tensions, or the latest regulatory scare in crypto—there's always a narrative that screams "SELL, YOU FOOL!"

But let's take a breath and remember: markets have a knack for climbing much higher than your anxious brain might think.

Let's hop into the time machine. Think about the tech bubble of 2000 or the financial crisis of 2008.

Anyone who pulled out then must be kicking themselves now. And the S&P 500 has quadrupled since its 2009 lows.

In fact, since the start of our current 15 year bull market, there have been over 40 major panic-inducing events that were sold by the media as “reasons to sell”.

Bitcoin? Don't even get me started.

According to the media, bitcoin has “died” 474 times over the past 12 years!

But through doom-and-bust cycles, bitcoin continues its long-term bull market…

Even in the face of 80% drawdowns from all-time highs.

The point is, markets tend to grow exponentially over long periods, often exceeding our wildest expectations.

So, how can you, the savvy investor, dodge the pitfalls of short-term thinking?

Here's a pro tip: zoom out.

Literally, adjust the time frame on your trading app. Look at trends over years, not days or weeks.

For example, here’s bitcoin’s exponential growth when you zoom out over the past decade on a logarithmic chart:

Also, ignore the "financial Chicken Littles," the ones proclaiming the sky's falling every other minute.

Instead, focus on fundamentals.

If the companies or assets you're invested in show robust growth metrics and strong balance sheets, chances are they'll weather the short-term storms.

Next time you're tempted to panic-sell because of some headline or a red candlestick on a 15-minute chart, remember this:

The market is not a sprint; it's a never-ending marathon with refreshment stops stocked with golden Gatorade.

Cheers to long-term gains!

Interest Rates: What Happens Next? 📉

Today, we find out what the Federal Reserve is going to do with interest rates.

As we’ve seen the fastest rate hike in recent history, investors are wondering if this disruptive rate hike cycle is over.

There’s bad news and good news…

The good news is, the Federal Reserve is likely not hiking rates again this meeting:

The market is pricing a 99% chance that rates are staying put.

Now, the bad news is inflation is still a problem for the Fed as oil prices are trending higher.

Oil prices were always the “wild card” for inflation staying under control…

And it looks like fears aren’t in the rear-view mirror fully.

So unfortunately the Fed holding rates “higher for longer” seems likely.

If you’re looking for lower rates to buy, refinance a home or get relief on your HELOC, it’s not looking promising anytime soon.

However, many analysts and even the market is starting to think we could see rates declining mid-2024.

If we see a recession dig its claws into the economy - rate decreases could happen even sooner (but, then we will have other things to worry about).

For now, we’ll be ready to analyze what the Fed has to say this afternoon.

Debrief on this situation coming at you on Friday!

The Big Idea: Step aside, traditional software development—no-code platforms are here, and they're the real MVP (Minimum Viable Product) champions.

The Opportunity: This is not just child's play. We're talking about a market set to hit $86.92 billion by 2027.

Also, according to ExplodingTopics.com, keywords like “No Code App Builder” are up 1,600% over the last few years.

It's a perfect storm for both:

1. Entrepreneurs who who want to create at the speed of light,

2. And investors who want to ride the wave of companies disrupting slow giants

Key Players: Startups like Bubble, Adalo, and Glide are some hot startups in this game. Bubble alone raised $100 million in 2021.

These platforms are VC magnets, attracting a slew of investors eager for the next unicorn.
