Should retail investors ignore short-term stock swings?
I've been following the stock market for years, and one thing that keeps bugging me is how much short-term noise gets amplified. A single bad earnings report can tank a solid company's shares by 10% in a day, even if the long-term fundamentals haven't changed. Do you think retail investors should just ignore daily price swings and focus strictly on quarterly fundamentals, or is that too naive in today's algorithmic trading environment?
