A Simple, Powerful Message
In recent weeks, we’ve answered a lot of questions from clients about our investment strategy. With the Trump rally driving U. S. stock prices to new highs, it’s understandable that the main thrust of many of those questions is this: When are we going to catch up to current events and get fully invested?
It’s easy to understand this desire, this feeling of having to act right now, before it’s too late. Humans are programmed, at a level below our conscious awareness, to go along with the crowd at times of danger or rapid change. The excitement at the top of a market and the terror at the bottom trigger our emotions in a way that few experiences can.
The graphic below delivers a simple, powerful, and essential message.
Our simple message is this: Changing your holdings to chase performance at an all-time market high would be a monumental error, the sort of mistake that can permanently damage your prospects for lifetime wealth.
