What Is Risk?

Below is a synopsis of this investment report:

  • Answering the Unanswerable
  • Market Declines Are Normal
  • Looking Ahead

 

As Hurricane Michael ravaged the Florida panhandle and the Southeast, so did a surge of selling hit Wall Street this past week. At Thursday’s close, two days of declines had left the Dow Jones Industrial Average 6.6% below its record high set just six trading days prior. The selloff provides a dramatic reminder that sometimes it is just momentum—positive or negative—that moves markets on any given day.

Discount Shopping Is So Much Fun

, ,

Below is a synopsis of this investment report:

  • Volatility surged in financial markets this week due to fears of slowing global economic growth, technical factors that concern day traders, and news of the Ebola virus spreading in Dallas.
  • The Investment Committee strongly feels that the market selloff is completely unwarranted, and we are actively looking for ways to profit from the fear and panic of the sellers.
  • Broad-based discount shopping is a rare event, and we have been waiting for this very opportunity to put our large cash position to use by purchasing stocks that go on sale.
