If we’ve worked together for any length of time, you know I regularly talk and write about investor psychology, especially how tuning out day-to-day market headlines can lead to better long-term results. In a world full of distractions, this mindset is more important than ever.
We live in an era of nonstop financial news. From interest rate speculation and economic forecasts to geopolitical tensions and trade policy shifts, headlines are constantly vying for our attention and our reaction.
Recently, headlines about new tariffs and another downgrade of U.S. government debt have added fresh layers of uncertainty. And naturally, these stories raise questions:
Should I adjust my portfolio? Go to cash? Do something, anything, right now?
Team members of Strategic Wealth Partners, along with family and friends, once again rolled up their sleeves and put on hairnets to pack meals for hungry children at Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) in Libertyville, IL. FMSC provides a fun and fulfilling way for people to serve those in need around the world. Volunteers form an assembly line to fill bags with food and pack into boxes. Each bag contains rice, soy, vegetables, and vitamins. This combination creates a nutritious meal that meets the needs of starving children and has the ability to change lives. Collectively, volunteers during this session packed 87 boxes of food that were sent all over the world.
In addition to the Libertyville location, FMSC has packing sites in Aurora and Schaumburg. All three sites offer multiple packing sessions each week. You can sign up to volunteer at any of the FMSC locations here.
