Firstly, the vast majority of market participants are focused on short-term performance. If you watch CNBC or Bloomberg, you will see this attitude on full display. There are no shows on either network dedicated to long-term investing. How bizarre is that if you really think about it? The reality is that these networks want daily viewers so the advertisers are happy, so there is a vested interest in promoting short-term trading based on news, momentum, technical analysis etc.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_column_text]What I mean by this is that many people avoid an investment that is obviously undervalued dramatically, because they believe it may drop more due to some short-term issue. Conversely, they will buy a stock that they believe to be overvalued from an intrinsic value standpoint, because they think it will continue to go up short-term. This is really the definition of speculation.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][button target=”_blank” hover_type=”default” text=”READ REPORT” link=”https://www.ttvalueinvesting.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/2017-06-20-Using-Short-Term-Market-Sentiment-to-Your-Advantage-Buffett-Example.pdf”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row]
