One of the most challenging aspects of being a 100% do-it-yourself investor (DYI) is dealing with the emotions of wanting to make major changes in a portfolio due to what may easily be seen as catastrophic news. The DYI doesn’t have a professional to help them think through the difficult times like the 2008 meltdown, the October 19, 1987 22% one day decline or currently, the upcoming election results.

Paul believes one of the best sources of professional support a DYI could have is George Sisti’s, "On Course Financial Planning Vectors" newsletter. On this podcast Paul reads Sisti’s ⁠July issue⁠ focused on “The Election!” as well as the misleading “noise” that investors get from the typical predictions that Wall Street produces this time of year.



Paul recommends investors read ⁠George's letters ⁠anytime they are feeling uncomfortable with the market. He even suggests that investors download his ⁠archived letters ⁠for future reading.
