Opportunity or Risk
So far this year, we’ve heard discussions and questions surrounding recessions, depressions, China, oil, and of course, elections. Which side of the aisle do you find yourself towards? Not the elections, but the reason for January being the worst 10 day start to a year in S&P 500 history (Standard & Poors Factset, J.P. Morgan). “China’s economy is slowing”, “Oil is crashing”, “It’s an election year” are common laments for we’ve heard for reasons the stock market falling. Have you found yourself reading, saying or listening to these statements? Arguably, they could all be correct, but as Winston Churchill profoundly noted, “A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.”
