February/March 2019 Economic Outlook

The global economy shows signs of slower, but steady, sustainable growth. For now, there are positive U.S. fundamentals that include jobs, housing, investment, confidence, and stable inflation.

Rising trade tensions could escalate, a potentially greater correction than we weathered third quarter 2018 may be ahead, and a possible ‘earnings correction’ may usher in a stealth bear market.

We are staying the course suggesting that investors enjoy the melt up as they prepare for the melt-down. Investors can prepare better so they don’t have to care no matter which way the market goes.

Do you know how much risk your portfolio and retirement accounts are taking? Understanding the risk of the economy and how it relates to your money is crucial. However, this means nothing if your investments aren’t designed around YOUR risk tolerance and YOUR financial goals. We’ve partnered with the fantastic folks at Riskalyze to offer a free tool that pinpoints your Risk Number so that you may informatively guide your portfolios asset allocation.
