Sam Ro returns to The Long Term Investor to help make sense of the headlines, valuations, and market narratives that so often distract investors from what matters most. This conversation is a timely reminder that while the story changes every week, the long-term drivers of returns—especially earnings and business fundamentals—still do most of the heavy lifting.

Listen now and learn:

► Why earnings remain the most important long-term driver of stock prices

► What elevated valuations do and do not tell us about future returns

► Why U.S. stocks have outperformed and what could shift that leadership

► How to separate hard data, soft data, and media narratives when evaluating markets
