In all of the election news over the weekend, I suspect many people might have missed the news that an investing era will draw to a close at the end of 2025. Warren Buffett, the man known as the 'Oracle of Omaha' has announced that he will retire as CEO of investment conglomerate Berkshire Hathaway in just under seven months' time.

There is a lot going on, right now. Market volatility. 101 days of a new (well, returned) US President. Inflation falling (and maybe rates, too). And an election in a few days. That's a lot for an investor to get her head around. Except… it's not. Not really, anyway. Don't get me wrong – I'm not saying it's unimportant or that the vast number of permutations of the above don't take up some serious mental space. I'm just saying it's not that important, from an investing perspective.

It is hard, now, to imagine the world of 1914. International leisure travel was almost non-existent, news slowly trickled around the world on ships and via telegram, and motorised transport was rare. We were barely teenagers, as a nation. Our federal parliament sat between Sydney and Melbourne, with the construction of Canberra having only just begun.

Yes, it's me. Again. And yes, I'm here again for the reason you think: the US markets fell heavily on Friday night, our time (down about 6%), and the ASX futures suggest that we'll drop by a bit over 4% here, today. Sick of me yet? I hope not. I posted some thoughts about investing in times of volatility on Twitter this morning, and one follower generously replied: "Thank you. Much fretting re all this. Some reassurance is much appreciated" I don't blame them.

Look, I'm going to keep this short. Which… is uncommon for me, and might be a relief for you. Two things:First, the ASX is down 1.5% right now, after the US markets fell almost 5% overnight. No, I didn't predict it, but I did write something yesterday in the wake of the tariff announcement and the fall in the US Futures yesterday afternoon. In the iconic words of the late Charlie Munger, 'I have nothing to add'. So, if you're worried about your portfolio, please have a read.

Spot on. There was a time the majors cared (or at least pretended to care) about the state of our national finances. Now? No interest. It doesn't even get mentioned. They're too busy bribing us with our own money, and leaving debt for our kids. (Source: AFR homepage) #auspol https://t.co/FZFH9h0wbY
