Why Trusting Your Instincts is the Best Advice for Investors

Sometimes the best answer to a question is “I don’t know.” And as Kate Stalter reminds investors, that may be an excellent answer to the question of what is the most successful way to invest in this market.

The fact is that most of us have never had to deal with an economy like this. So what do you do when your instincts tell you that equities are still the right place to be?

On this week’s episode of The MarketBeat Podcast, Stalter spoke with Mike Davis, founding partner of Olive Tree Ridge, a multi-strategy asset management firm. Davis had some simple advice for investors…use common sense.

In this podcast, you’ll hear how Davis applied that simple advice when he invested in just three stocks over a long period of time to great success. As Davis tells you, it wasn’t because he had some special knowledge. It was just by asking himself some common sense questions.

Using common sense aligns with Peter Lynch’s memorable advice to “buy what you know.” However, because the internet has opened up many avenues in what we know, Davis says today’s investor may want to think of it as “buy what interests you.”

P.S. You've probably seen the news about Pelosi's visit to Taiwan. How will this impact China's possible takeover of Taiwan? Taiwan currently makes about 66% of the world's semiconductors. If China takes over Taiwan, it could spread its influence over the rest of Southeast Asia. And with the chip shortage having already caused chaos for auto markets, computer manufacturers, and cell phone companies, who knows what would happen next?

We have a special report, "China vs. Taiwan: 3 Steps You Must Take to Prepare for War," just for our readers.
