Helping You Stay Calm When the Market is NOT
Investing and going it alone is easy when the markets are up, as they were last year. But its a different game when markets are volatile, as they have been this year, or when markets are down, as they definitely will be at some point in the future. We help our clients put these different stages of the market cycle in perspective. Who helps you? Our goal is the same as our clients; to develop a long term strategy and stay invested. That was easier said than done last quarter when the S P 500 dropped 10% in 11 days and then again 5% a month later. And, this quarter promises just as much excitement. Triggers for market volatility can come in many different shapes and sizespolicy uncertainty in Washington or Beijing, earnings reports, geopolitical unrest. And market swings can rattle even seasoned investors nerves. But volatility is part and parcel of investing. So put such uncertain times to good use as a motivator to help ensure your investment strategy aligns with your long-term goals,
