The latest episode of The Chase, hosted by Chris McAlpin, revolves around the intricacies of investing and the mindset required for success. Chris emphasizes the importance of approaching investments with the right perspective, highlighting that money is merely a tool and not the end goal. He delves into the psychology of investing, explaining that while short-term losses are part and parcel of the investment journey, the long-term view, and adherence to a tested system matter.

Drawing parallels with sports, Chris underscores the significance of mental rehearsal in achieving investment success.
