Glass half full? - 10 October 2022

If you’re a glass-half-full kind of person, it’s been difficult, of late, to maintain optimism when it comes to our financial markets.  The current sell off has gone on . . .and on . . . and on.  Or so it seems. 

Well, we think there is reason to hang on to your optimism.  As you will read in the following article, history shows that serious market declines are often followed by serious market bounce backs.  But don’t take our word for it, take a minute or two and see for yourself:

The basis for these bounce backs is the fact that while investors are constantly re-evaluating companies, most businesses are still delivering solid earnings.  While the markets may be down 20%, earnings reports remain up across many sectors.  And it’s all about earnings. 

Remember, it’s a long game – let’s stick with our plan.  When it comes to the markets, the long game is undefeated!
