Episode 28: Don’t Use Short-Term Information to Make Long-Term Decisions

Christopher Tan

Scores of data tell us that throughout recessions, geopolitical situations or natural disasters that had happened from time to time, the stock markets always rise in the long run.

In this episode, I will explain the main driver of long-term stock market returns and why yield curve inversion is not a very reliable tool for predicting stock market crashes.

Important note: Use low-cost instruments to execute your investment strategy and stay invested for the long haul. Do not change your long-term investment strategy because of occasional noises.
