Briefly recording my current thoughts to remember them around the time of the next US midterm elections.
2022 US Midterm Elections +_+
Since I'm investing in US stocks, I'm naturally paying attention to major events. Especially because I'm investing in 3x leveraged stocks, even small issues have a big impact, so I need to pay even more attention to major events. Obviously, I need to keep an eye on the results of the upcoming US midterm elections, as they're expected to influence a variety of things. Usually, leading up to the midterm election results, it's generally considered positive, but many negative indicators haven't resolved yet, so the impact might be minimal. Anyway, as I'm writing this, the results are coming in, and I have to fully accept the responsibility of my investment decisions. While I don't have a preference for who wins, I hope that this becomes an opportunity to resolve some of the existing negative factors.
- Will the US indices, which have been declining for a long time, finally reverse course? Or will the decline continue for even longer?
- Will the stock prices that have already risen in anticipation of the results surge further if the results meet expectations? Or will they revert back to their original levels?
- Is it the right approach to make investment decisions based on these factors?
Considering these questions, I realize how difficult it is to predict and match the results. This makes my investments feel like a gamble where I'm betting on one side or the other. It's bittersweet, but I hope this record will be helpful to me when the next US midterm elections arrive.
This time, I'll keep this phrase in mind.
Never invest with the mindset of betting on one side or the other.
