Minutiae of the news

We often get caught up in the minutiae of the news. What happens tomorrow because of such-and-such? What happens if Candidate X is elected? What happens if the yen strengthens? Doing so could easily make you a 24-hour business news junkie, fidgeting for this or that, trading much too often -- and much too recklessly. Just because it's cheap to trade does not mean that you have to trade.
