The recent volatility in the stock markets and deteriorating market breadth have sparked concerns about a potential market crash. However, as Paul Samuelson famously said, "Investing should be more like watching paint dry or watching grass grow. If you want excitement, take $800 and go to Las Vegas.”. Long-term equity investment has historically proven to be a rewarding journey.
