Episode notes
Markets Historically Rebound After Conflicts
- Historical conflicts often cause sharp short-term drops but rapid recoveries in the market afterward.
- Keith Fitz-Gerald cites examples: 1990 Gulf War, 9/11, 2003 Iraq invasion, and 2020 events where markets rebounded strongly within months.
Audit Holdings If You Have No Cash
- If you lack cash, audit each holding and ask: will I want to own this in five years?
- Sell stocks you don't understand; hold quality companies and ride the market out if you trust them.
Buy Resilient Energy Companies Not Oil Prices
- Don't chase oil prices; buy resilient energy companies that profit across price ranges and pay dividends.
- Keith recommends Chevron for diversified production, processing, global reach, and a reliable dividend you can reinvest.
