Shutdown Struggle Is A Chance To Buy Good Stocks Cheaper: nvestors are bombarded every day with a constant flow of worrisome news, creating an all-consuming barrage of questions that bounce off the mind’s walls, much like a pinball machine. What’s happening in the Middle East and Africa? How does the U.S. government shutdown directly affect me? Will the U.S. face a credit downgrade? Is global political uncertainty going to impact my portfolio? The government shutdown and the debt ceiling debate are likely to be met head on by the principle of Diminishing Marginal Impact, causing the market swings to be short lived. While the headlines can be nerve-racking, it’s essential to not only look forward, beyond what’s happening this week, but to also remember what’s taken place in the past and how the markets have reacted in the long-term. Rather than tracking the news, keep an eye on the sectors that have high potential and the companies in those sectors that will soon be reporting earnings.
