Some people are getting rich in the markets today, so why aren’t you? As an investor, fear of missing out is a difficult emotion to manage, especially when others are seemingly making easy money and you’re not. In our latest podcast, we discuss:

• Why, when it comes to investing, few, if any individuals, enjoy going against the crowd for the sake of discipline, especially when their neighbors might be making money hand over fist in tech, bitcoin, penny stocks, and options trading.
• How by many measures, there’s little doubt that conditions in certain parts of the market today are frothy and consistent with a late market cycle. This sort of market euphoria has happened before, and if history is any guide, it likely won’t end well.
• But by looking past the latest investing craze, reminding yourself of your financial independence goals, digging deep to figure out what you have to lose, and staying committed to a long-term, disciplined investment strategy, you might just be able to maintain your sanity when it seems like the markets are going crazy.
