Happy New Year! It’s always an interesting endeavor at this time of the year to stroll back along memory lane to see just how we got to where we find ourselves. The passage of time tells us the story, punctuated by the passing of things held dear and the emergence of new challenges, opportunities and technologies.  Fall is in the air, and this is the time of year you might wonder... will it be tricks or treats for the markets during this autumn season? Only time will tell and, as usual, but there are reasons aplenty for both Bull and Bear to make their case.  Do you want to grow your $1 to $1,000,000,000 in 31 days? (That’s 1 billion with a B.) How? Easy. You just have to double your money every day for 31 days.  It’s summer, the masks are mostly off, the economy is growing, and the sun is shining. Some of you might not remember Jackie Gleason’s line but somehow it seems fitting right about now. How sweet it is!  “Is this a good time to get in to the Market?” “Are stocks too expensive? Should I sell and get out?” I get questions like these. A lot. I’m flattered, of course. It means that they value my opinion.  The sun is shining, the birds are happy and everywhere we look our eyes delight in the new leaves and unfolding flowers, Happy Springtime 2021! Somehow this spring seems especially sweet as we get closer to the end of this tough time of pandemic. And we’re all looking forward to a better world as the vaccinations become widespread and the number of new cases fall.  |
