Riding Out the Market Volatility Storm
Well - it continues!! One can barely turn on the radio, TV or press without knowing it's a tough financial time...I cynically observed the other day that apparently we must have solved global warming, finished in Iraq and captured Osama!! The point being, whether we are being fed it or not, life does and will go on - nothwithstanding we are in the middle of a VERY tough financial time.
Unable to escape it, most of us have been watching markets, the turbulence of our investments/super and wondering how much longer it will be before we are back to positive territory. As is always the case, it is just a matter of time.
In this edition of eNew$ we have focused on articles to help your understanding of market cycles and investing generally.
Beyond these, I commend your attention to an excellent article from Peter Thornhill at Motivated Money (5 minute read) - click here.
