Please don't fall for stories about how the economy is doomed... that the market is destined to collapse... or that the "good ol' days" are over.

That's not to say we know where the market will be next month. It may be down or up. And we will absolutely have corrections and volatility in the coming months and years. That's a fact of investing, and life, in general.

But remember that you are your own worst enemy when it comes to profiting from your investments.

Take control of the things you can and enjoy the fact that things, in general, are getting better.
