But according to Davis Advisors Chairman & Portfolio Manager Chris Davis, it's the bad headlines that helped businesses become more resilient.
"Look at the last 20 years, what we've gone through, right?" Davis asked of FOX Business' Jack Otter on "Barron's Roundtable."

"Investing? We're based on the idea that you will be able to be resilient, go through those periods, build wealth over a decade," Davis said. "That's, in a sense, how you maintain some equanimity when the headlines are blaring the opposite."
