Description

Stocks Swoon, Interest Rates Rise, Energy Prices Fall, and Ag Struggles, January 2016 Market and Economic Outlook While the stock swoon could certainly get worse, this is difficult to see without the U.S. economy slipping into recession. Our banks and consumers are in much better shape than 2008 and while China and oil are concerning, it pales in comparison to the systemic risk the financial system faced in 2008. A diversified portfolio comprised of stocks, bonds, and real estate, and customized to meet your individual financial goals, is a well-known and accepted strategy for preserving and growing wealth over time. We wish you good health, wealth, and a prosperous New Year.
