As long-term money managers, we train our clients to see past this noise and \u201cforgo the fluff\u201d of the financial media.<\/p><p>This month\u2019s client\u2019s corner focuses on mainstream financial media. In particular, we will be looking at:<\/p><ul><li>The business model behind the financial media, and the importance of getting clicks.<\/li><li>The biases investors should be aware of when following financial news.<\/li><li>Important financial planning strategies to help you counter inconsistent economic forecasts.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8fbd854 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8fbd854\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<h3>How do media outlets make money? Why are clicks so important?<\/h3><p>Media outlets make money from advertisers. Companies pay news providers to show ads on-air and on their websites. These ads are often tailored to the viewers and success is measured based on clicks. The more clicks a media outlet can deliver, the more demand from advertisers, the more money the outlet makes.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dfdccf7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"dfdccf7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<h3>What biases should investors be aware of when following financial news?<\/h3><p>Negative news sells. Often referred to as the \u201cbad news bias\u201d, the simple fact is that human psychology drives people to have strong emotional reactions to negative headlines. News outlets know this and try to exploit this gap in human psychology because it ultimately results in more clicks and more revenue. Financial markets are resilient. They have crashed, recovered, and reached new high\u2019s time and time again. Don\u2019t get sucked into the endless stream of doom and gloom headlines. Stick with your long-term plan and you will come out on top.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d00d02c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d00d02c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<h3>Are there any financial planning strategies that can help investors counter inconsistent economic forecasts?<\/h3><p>The first strategy is to <strong>segment your investments into three-buckets<\/strong> based on when you need access to those funds. The general idea is to have 1-2 years of cash in a short-term bucket, 3-6 years in your medium bucket with slightly more risk, and everything else invested into equities or real estate for the long-term. This approach lays the foundation for success no matter what picture is painted in the financial media. Learn more about this strategy here<\/p><p>The second strategy is to implement <strong>\u201cdollar-cost averaging\u201d<\/strong> in your long-term bucket. Say you invest $1,000 at the beginning of every month into a simple S&amp;P 500 index fund and say this buys you 10 units today. Let\u2019s say next month the market goes up and that $1000 only buys you 9 units at the more expensive price. No problem, you\u2019re buying less at the higher price. Now let\u2019s say the month after that the market goes down and that $1000 is now able to buy you 11 units. Perfect, you\u2019re buying more at the lower price. That is the beauty of dollar-cost averaging. Buy more when prices are low, less when prices are high.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b0851d4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b0851d4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<h3>Summary<\/h3><p>At the end of the day, always remember to view anything you hear or read in the financial media with a critical lens. Remember that news outlets make money from attracting eyeballs and getting clicks and the best-performing articles are usually the ones with negative headlines. Stick with your plan, look past the noise, segment your investments into buckets, and utilize dollar-cost averaging, and over the long run you\u2019ll come out on top.<\/p><p>Thinking about hiring a professional to help you implement strategies like those mentioned in this article?
