Trying to guess what the market will do next can feel urgent—but it often creates more noise than clarity. From this past weekend’s radio show, Mike Douglas discusses the difference between headlines and real market signals, why timing the market is so difficult, and how uncertainty can lead to decision paralysis near retirement. The conversation covers managing risk, separating income needs from investments, lessons from past market cycles, and how planning for both good and bad markets can help reduce emotional decision-making while staying focused on long-term retirement goals.
