The Stock Market is Random

No matter how smart people are, they cannot systematically predict where the stock market is headed. Forget about the stock picking wunderkind. The market will go up or down based on a series of often unpredictable, unrelated events. None of them have to do with how you feel or what you want. In this day and age of volatility, the best advice is to follow some basic principles of investing and try not to listen to the barrage of advice and opinions on where the stock market is going. This information is often grounded on selected data designed to tell an enticing secret about how you can make a lot of money if you invest a certain way. There are no secrets. Stay informed and stick with fundamentals and principles and you will do just fine.
