Skip the headline, catch the real move

Major policy headline drops. Everybody with an opinion starts yelling. The real players do the opposite. They close the laptop and ask one question. What actually changed versus what just got louder. That's it. The real reason most people lose money on news days is they react to the headline instead of the mechanism behind it. And the weird part is the biggest moves usually come three days later, after the noise dies down. Small habit, start reading past the first paragraph. Do that for 30 days straight and you'll catch moves everyone else misses by a full week.
