I won’t lie. I’m having a hard time remembering a more pessimistic attitude about the market. However, I do believe we’re in danger of getting caught up in the moment and forgetting the market’s historical lesson proven time and again: this too shall pass. I know you’re worried. I know it’s hard to behave rationally. I know that this time “feels” different, making you want to react versus wait. To help you stand the waiting, to help you know that there will be an end, I’ve collected some different resources to help you find perspective despite the prevailing pessimism.
