Last week during my appointment my doctor asked me for my opinion on the markets and investment landscape. I answered his questions but then annoyingly asked him a question.
"How do you feel?"
He looked at me sideways for a minute and then we had a great discussion about how his reaction daily to the green and red arrows on his daily market report immediately affects his thinking and feeling. I told him he's in good company.
I love asking that question because I find that most people are modeling the overall sentiment without realizing it.
Like my daughter Emme, are you out buying cute pink western hats you might wear once? No? Neither did she even though its pretty dang perfect on her. I am fascinated by how we as a group, an economy as a whole, really base behavior on so much more than data. Like how I get nervous when houses on my street aren't selling quite as quickly as they did a year ago. Or when the topic at the neighborhood pool is how expensive it is to play golf or go on vacation these days.
Experts and analysts are so necessary, and Thrivent puts out consistently reliable data. (Linked below) But I'm curious, what behaviors or trends do you notice in your environment?
