Had Grant not invented bad news, this thread wouldn't exist which was the whole point... to break through the noise and get people talking even if it's negative... having said that, I personally wouldn't want to do anything that may hurt my network's trust in me.

I feel at home in the noise and constant stimulation.

Waiting might sound like a decent approach, especially with all the noise in the current climate, but remember investors make money in all parts of the market cycle.

He mentioned something like drown out the noise of everything else and focus on the one path you want to take and then put everything you got into it.

As long as you can see in your heart that you're doing what's best for you , then all the other nonsense is just noise.

There is a lot of noise, and it can be difficult to filter this out.

@Scott TrenchWhen the line between education and sales is a blurred as it is there is always going to be more “noise” toward the investing strategy that benefits sales; in this instance more leverage.I have been strategically paying off (not down because, with a conventional mortgage, that increases risk as you reduce liquidity and have the same debt service obligations) “higher” interest loans.

It is further complicated by the fact that much of the information is just noise or even worse some is bad information. 

Turn the radio off and enjoy the noise of your car and the road while driving.
