The double-edged sword of the information age is that it often feels as though the world is getting worse, even as many things have been gradually improving. While access to information has never been greater, the headlines are driven by negativity and sensationalism, rarely highlighting the progress being made.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Yet, we\u2019re living in one of the most remarkable periods in human history. Life expectancy and wealth are at record highs; poverty, child mortality and violence are at multi-decade lows. Innovation continues to shape a world with more opportunities than ever. But progress rarely makes front-page news\u2014it happens quietly, gradually and often goes unnoticed.<\/p>

This summer, perhaps it\u2019s time to take a break from the headlines. Here are seven reasons why our hyperconnected world may be impacting our investing focus\u2014and why unplugging might be more beneficial than you\u2019d expect:<\/p>

1. Shorter holding periods can reduce returns<\/strong> \u2014 The average investor today holds a stock for just five months\u2014compared to nearly eight years in the 1950s.\u00b9 With real-time market access at our fingertips, it\u2019s easy to confuse access with insight, which may be encouraging more frequent trading. Yet, research shows that frequent trading can hurt performance: An investor who was out of the market during the top 10 trading days for the S&P 500 Index from 1993 to 2013 would have achieved a 5.4 percent annualized return, instead of 9.2 percent by staying invested.\u00b2<\/p>

2. We are increasingly making impulsive decisions<\/strong> \u2014 A recent study from the NYU Stern School of Business found that the median individual investor spends just six minutes researching a stock before buying it online.3<\/sup> Technology not only speeds up access to information , but also our reactions to it\u2014often encouraging decisions that are more emotional than analytical. Consider this: for every 100 millisecond improvement of Amazon\u2019s site load time, revenue reportedly increases by one percent.\u2074 Speed can drive impulsive behaviour.<\/p>

3. Frequent portfolio checks increase the likelihood of seeing <\/strong>short-term losses<\/strong> \u2014 The average person checks their phone 352 times a day\u2014about once every 2 minutes and 43 seconds5. With access to our financial accounts at our fingertips, chances are many investors are checking portfolios more frequently. Yet, frequent checks increase the likelihood of seeing short-term losses. For example , if you were to check the S&P\/TSX Composite Index on a daily basis, you\u2019d see a negative return around 48 percent of the time, compared to only around 28 percent of the time when checking annually6. Consider that losses tend to feel twice as painful as gains feel rewarding.<\/p>

4. Too much news can take a toll<\/strong> \u2014 Many of our phone checks lead to the news headlines. While the media has always skewed to reporting negative news because it attracts more attention, recent research suggests that it has become increasingly more negative.7<\/sup><\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

\u201cDoomscrolling\u201d\u2014the habit of endlessly consuming negative news\u2014 was added to the Merriam-Webster dictionary in 2021, a sign of just how common it\u2019s become. While staying informed is important, constant exposure to distressing headlines has been linked to increased anxiety and depression. Research suggests that reducing screen time\u2014even by a little\u2014can lead to noticeable improvements in
mental well-being within just a few weeks.8<\/sup><\/p>

5. Negativity bias can cloud investment thinking<\/strong> \u2014 Our brains are hardwired to protect against threats. This survival instinct can cause us to act on negative news. Research also shows that social media amplifies herd behaviour, especially during times of market stress\u2014often leading to emotionally-charged decisions that stray from long-term plans.9<\/sup><\/p>

6. Time is a limited resource<\/strong> \u2014 Indeed, time may be one of our most finite assets\u2014and yet, we often spend more of it on screens than we realize. One statistic suggests the average adult logs at least 4 hours and 39 minutes a day on their phone, or almost 70 days per year.10 <\/sup>Over a typical adult lifetime, that adds up to almost 12 years of screen time! Of course, smartphones have helped to improve efficiency\u2014 today, we can order food, book a ride, track our health or paya bill\u2014all via our smartphones. However, if you\u2019ve ever lost an hour to TikTok or Instagram, it\u2019s worth asking: How much of life is being traded for scrolling?<\/p>

7. Unplugging can help rebalance perspective<\/strong> \u2014 Stepping away\u2014even briefly!\u2014from constant connectivity may help to refocus on what matters most: time with family, personal growth or whatever brings you joy and purpose. That\u2019s where I\/we, as your advisor(s), come in. One of my\/our roles is to help simplify your financial life so you can feel confident focusing on what is truly important.<\/p>

In a world that is constantly connected, why not consider unplugging?<\/p>
