Warren Buffett, the Oracle of Omaha, once said to be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful.  Happy Spring! In the midst of all the turmoil we find ourselves faced with of late we can still depend on Mother Nature to put on her usual stupendous display, reminding us that hope always springs anew after even the grimmest of winters.  A variety of conflicts involving major world powers have tended to historically raise short-term volatility in global financial assets. However, market damage has tended to be short-lived, as in the magnitude of a typical market correction (-10% or a bit more).  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.  |
