Hey Alisa,
market noise is tough, but if you do things that keep you busy BUT will keep you informed on what is going on in the markets you will succeed. Starting a blog is a great start, I started this blog to keep me busy and has been a great tool in keeping track of ideas. Its also a great place to share your thoughts on the market. People will disagree with you, and thats fine as you will learn BUT if they disagree and you are right, it teaches you stay believe in your research. Finally, if you need help in growing your blog, feel free to e-mail me with any questions at alex.garcia6@gmail.com

thanks for taking the time to read my blog

I agree that value you investing always bounces back. The reason being that the investment is in a solid business, with solid finanials, within a solid industry. I am still learning (not always easy) not to be distracted by all the noise that the market makes “ding” “ding” “buy” “sell” “hold” “bearish” “bullish” “recession” “depression” get my point. But, for me at least, the challenge is to focus on identifying the businesses that have done well, are doing well, and are positioning themselves to do well domestically as well as globally. I have just started my investment journey and have a lot to learn. I find this blog very informative. Thank you for ublishing it. Please visit me on my “Stock Market Journey.”

I do agree that value investing is a winning long-term strategy. Short-term noise should be ignored if you have 2 decades to wait for your investments to be ready for use.

Jeff,
As you might know, you have to be careful with whats cheap and what is useless (value from value traps). But like you side, both can be very profitable.

Alex,

Great post, spot on. The funny thing is, this often goes in reverse too. Stuff that used to be popular, all the talking heads going nuts with praise, can now be found in the bargain bin because of excessive short-term ism (see: Sears). Buying beaten down and buying overlooked (what you were talking about) are two sides to the same coin, both very proitable.
