One of the secrets to long-term investing is knowing what to ignore.
State of The Economy (July)
Big question: how’s the economy doing?
Will the Rally Keep Going?
Are the bulls back or are we seeing another "bear market rally" that will eventually lose steam?

Floating Above the Turmoil
Imagine there are 100 miles between you and a goal. A place you want to get to. But the land in between is chock full of canyons, crevasses, and crumbling cliffs. You have two choices of how you could get there. You could find a way on foot, sliding into ravines and trudging up switchbacks. Up every cliff and down. Mile after mile. Or... You could float above it in a hot air balloon. Letting the wind carry you across.
