Looking Beyond Today - Spring 2023It has been said that change is the only constant, and the investing world is no exception. For more than a year, we’ve seen the effects of a rapid change in inflation and interest rates on the financial markets.
Look Forward, Not Back – Winter 2023One of the weaknesses of human nature is our tendency to focus on what is most recent in our memories. Our minds are naturally influenced by things that have just happened, and this can impact the way we make decisions. In investing, this can be amplified. The market pendulum can sometimes swing from one extreme to the other, with prices often overshooting underlying “fair values” in both directions during the course of a cycle. As renowned investor Benjamin Graham once said, “In the short run, the market is a voting machine. But in the long run, it is a weighing machine.”
Dealing with Uncertainty – Autumn 2022As the central banks continue to raise rates in their fight to curb inflation, many observers have pointed to the current outlook for the economy and financial markets as uncertain: Did the central banks wait too long to control inflation? Is a full-blown recession imminent?
The Importance of Holding On – Summer 2022It has been difficult to find much market commentary that suggests positive developments in the financial and economic markets over recent times. The reasons are many: high and persistent inflation, more aggressive tightening policies by central banks and the prospect of recession. This has created significant uncertainty over the path forward.
Maintaining Perspective in Volatile Times – Spring 2022Today it seems as though there is no shortage of new challenges to test our resolve. As we try and move forward from two difficult years of battling a pandemic, the world has been confronted with the new crisis of the Russia/Ukraine conflict.
The Enduring Human Spirit – Winter 2022An article published by the Wall Street Journal shared some fitting advice from endurance athletes, suggesting that those who endure adversity can emerge stronger and more resilient in what is termed “post-traumatic growth.”1 As we enter another year, may we continue to have hope that brighter days lie ahead and we will return to a world not bound by the dominance of the pandemic. For almost two years now, we’ve each had to endure adversity in our own ways. However, the hope is that we will be able to move forward, perhaps a little bit more resilient than before.
