Don’t let fear drive your investing
Fear is a powerful emotion. That’s why we can’t get enough of people who say the stock market will crash.
Fear is often used as a manipulation tool by charlatans, those folks who like to scare people into buying their products or services. Fear can be a particularly effective tactic when it comes to the stock market.
Certain individuals will warn you of an impending market crash.
Their solution? Give them your money, and they’ll “protect” you by investing it in their supposedly safe and secure alternatives.
But here’s the thing: The stock market has its ups and downs.
That’s just the nature of the beast. Yes, there are crashes, but historically, the market has always recovered and continued its upward trend.
Information is your best defense against manipulation and fear-mongering.
The more you know, the better equipped you are to make sound financial and investing decisions that align with your goals.
Remember to keep a healthy level of skepticism. Don’t let fear dictate your choices. Instead, arm yourself with knowledge and make decisions based on facts, not emotions.
I’ll leave you with a quote from Warren Buffett: “Risk comes from not knowing what you’re doing.”

The world is getting hotter
Ground temperatures in East Antarctica have soared more than 50 degrees (28 Celsius) above normal in the second major heat wave to afflict the region in the past two years. This historic warm spell could persist for another 10 days and is an ominous example of the major temperature spikes this polar climate could experience more frequently in a warming world.
The South Pole station will clinch its warmest July since 2002, about 11 degrees (6.3 Celsius) above average. Winter temperatures in Antarctica substantially fluctuate because of the lack of sunlight, but this heat wave is a much larger deviation from the norm than usual. It’s too early to determine all of its causes.
The largest heat wave in Antarctica — and anywhere in the world — occurred in March 2022, when the eastern coast of Antarctica spiked at least 70 degrees (39 Celsius) above normal.

""The fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown."" ~ Carl Sagan
