So if you're in a strong U.S. dollar environment, no matter how much you stomp your feet and want the U.S. market to underperform, it will not." ~ Kim Arthur [21:26] - "Investors need to realize that when geopolitical crises happen, you want to be putting money into the market because almost 12 or 24 months later, you're up significantly from those periods when they went down. It shows the tenacity and the growth mindset of the globe that when these things happen, everybody gets together and works to find a solution to that problem." ~ Kim Arthur [22:10] - "In the equity market, fear is temporary, and greed is permanent." ~ Kim Arthur Links Kim Arthur on LinkedIn Main Management Main Management on Twitter Zombie (Miley Cyrus Rendition) Howard Marks Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art Connect with our hosts Rusty Vanneman Robyn Murray Subscribe and stay in touch Apple Podcasts Spotify Google Podcasts 2450-OPS-12/19/2022
