I wanted to share a video that encapsulates what I’ve been hearing and telling clients lately.
If you don’t want to click on the video, here are two key takeaways:
- Even good years have bad stretches. Every year has periods where the market is temporarily in the red.
- The temptation to “get out” or “raise cash” can be strong, but staying disciplined and invested is crucial to achieving long-term objectives.
We have carefully built plans with our clients’ portfolios with their unique goals in mind, balancing equities, fixed income and cash to align with individual needs. As always, we’ll continue reaching out proactively, and we encourage open communication so we can go over your objectives and navigate market conditions together.
On a lighter note, daylight savings time begins this Sunday, meaning we’ll lose an hour of sleep. I also like to call it “how do I switch the time on my oven/microwave/car/alarm again?” day! The timing is never ideal, especially with March Break kicking off for kids across Canada. Fun fact: only about 40% of the world uses daylight savings time. The current U.S. President Trump had often talked about getting rid of it, but now seems to be changing his mind…
Our co-op marketing student, Grace, is heading back to Thailand for a month this Sunday but will return in early April. She knows to change the clock, but I predict more than a few will wake up in a panic and miss things on Sunday!
Have a great weekend.
