As the father of value investing, Benjamin Graham, once famously said:"The market is a voting machine in the short term and a weighing machine in the long term,"The significance of earnings season is that it gives us the opportunity to tune out the noise and recalibrate the 'weighing machine' that measures a company’s true value. A short-term market downturn is precisely the good time to position oneself in high-quality stocks. Keep calm and trust that flowers will eventually bloom!
