The news this week was a mix of T and E- Trade and Earnings. With the August 1st trade deadline looming some deals started to come together most notably with Japan. NVIDIA reported strong earnings as it bypassed Apple and Microsoft to become the world’s only $3 trillion market cap tech stock. President Trump continued to broadside Fed Chair Jerome Powell but the gyrations of the US dollar and the yield curve flattening helped equities grind higher.
We recommend ignoring the daily noise like Jack Bogle did and sticking with your long term investment plan. We also suggest subscribing to quality media that focuses on high level investment strategy and not the day to day machinations of the markets. For example, podcasts like Bogleheads on Investing, Rational Reminder and Animal Spirits are useful. You may also find our ETF & Portfolio picks helpful. Happy investing!
