Time in the Market
Iconic Wall Street observer Jeremy Siegel reminds us in a recent Barron’s article that stock investing is the most volatile asset in the short-term and the most stable asset in the long-term. Most volatile in the short-term and most stable in the long-term. Traders are chasing the next great earnings opportunity or corporate development. Investors, in contrast, are more concerned with compounding earnings, dividends, and share buybacks because that is where wealth is created. This message is so simple, yet so many fail to understand it.
