"Up The Escalator - Down The Elevator"

In this episode of The Retirement Fiduciary, Adam explores the concept of "Daylight," a key metric that investors should pay close attention to when markets become volatile. Daylight refers to the average price of an investment over a specified period, offering a clearer picture of an asset’s performance by smoothing out short-term fluctuations. Adam explains how this metric can help investors make better decisions, especially when market conditions are unpredictable or erratic.

Using examples from the past five years, Adam illustrates how Daylight has played a role in guiding investment strategies through periods of market instability. He also discusses why it’s crucial to consider Daylight alongside other financial indicators to get a more balanced view of the market.
