Current Market Thoughts

 

This video covers my current thinking

*  There are some BEAR signs in the market I'm concerned about

*  What does the market really care about (hint: recession and Europe)

*  Why so much volatility last week?

*  What should you (or me if I'm your adviser) be doing?

*  Dynamic Asset Allocation management coming your way....

 

If this week is calmer than last week, then I may not do a video 2 or 3 times.  For all our sakes, let's hope that's the case!

Putting the Correction in Perspective

Market in Perspective

 

The volatility of the markets in the past 1.5 weeks has caused a lot of consternation in a lot of people.  400+ point moves every day is enough to get the juices flowing.

 

Historically, so far this correction is very mild and short.  The above chart shows where are right now.

 

Does this mean we have further to decline?

 

That is always the big question. I put very little emphasis on reversion to a mean, so what has happened in the past and where we are currently means very little to me.  

 

We have to look to other analysis to make our determination whether this is the first leg of a declining market or a short term event.

Hopefully you've been listening to my videos to gauge where I am on this question

 

 

     

Buffet:  "The Lower Stocks Go, the More I Buy"
Warrent Buffett

 FORTUNE -- "There is no comparison between fear and greed," Warren Buffett is telling me over the phone from Omaha. "Fear is instant, pervasive and intense. Greed is slower. Fear hits," he exclaims.

  

I am NOT recommending a wholesale purchase of equities, but rather use this quote from the article below as a reminder how the professional investors think.  You have to keep your emotions in check to the best of your ability.

There are different types of investment management  strategies, and it's my goal to have a portfolio of them for my clients.
 
That's enough of a teaser for now, but more will be forthcoming in the next monthl.

Future of Technology

Back in 1993 AT&T (with Tom Selleck's voice) had a number of ads predicting what the future of technology would look like.

 

All I have to say is "wow".  They are so prophetic and are almost right on.  And this was 18 years ago!
