If we are holding quality stocks like FAANG, then don't worry. What we are waiting is its growth and valuation 10 years later. Short term price movements or corrections is just another road bump in our long investing journey.

The best thing to do is just check the companies earning report. If you like it, just hold for another quarter. Ignore the daily news. They are often cooked up to justify daily movement or to push certain agenda. Daily news are not here to help the common folks. More to stir up irrational emotions and induce mistakes from retail investors.

While these theories are valid when choosing small potential growth companies, in the end, it's still a 50/50 chance. Small businesses can be just put out of business due to changing environment or big companies coming into the niche. Buy more such companies and hope you get a few gems. But your gains may not be as big when you are diversified. Or might be even worse as some are just bad at picking. In the end, buy big quality companies or index might just be better for the common folks
