Recent history for investing
Sometimes, when we look at the past, we get nostalgic. We think, “Life was better back then.” Like coming up the Manitou Springs Incline, life can be difficult. Halfway through, we might be tempted to quit in frustration. Then we make it to the top. After we find a place to rest, we look back and say, “That was not that hard!”
Daniel Kahneman warns us that the past was much more difficult than we remember. Some people call this the peak-end rule. In our very recent past, we have had a drought and a stock market decline. It is difficult to look forward with optimism when all the news is negative. But the truth is, after the market’s decline comes the market’s most rapid ascent. So, we likely do have something to look forward to!
As for the drought, well…there are some amazing discoveries being made. Check out a few links below for some of my favorite stories. Some of these, like the hunger stones, remind us that we have been through droughts before. We will survive again!
