Short Focus

Think about it: a good investor is one who evaluates the company based on industry, management, financial strength, and looks out at least 3 or 4 years. Bottom line: keep your eye on the long term. Daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly info / market moves are of no interest unless they have potential to effect the long term. Yes, if you foresee cash needs within a 2 year window, moving that need into less risky investments, like into cash or short term bonds would be advisable. Otherwise keep the long focus.

But instead Janet Yellen sneezes and market goes down 4%, Trump promises a wall and markets go up. No basis in reality.
WSJ articles are mostly short focus, with no impact on long term. All short attention span stuff. Good businesses will respond and adapt if need be and prosper over the 3 to 4 to 30 year horizon.
