This episode of Matt’s Minutes follows up on last week’s video, ‘What if I suggested we get out of the market?’ Today, we explore where the market goes after hitting the bottom. We’ll take a look at a visual showing market returns a year after a major decline. As always, patient investors are rewarded for staying in the market in the long run.
Economic Outlook
Unscientific Science
In this week’s Matt’s Minutes, we discuss a common pattern that has emerged over the years regarding the bottom of the market. Matt talks about the “unscientific science” behind client calls and market timing that may surprise most. Essentially in our experience, the most concerned calls and emails from clients have historically peaked at a time when the market is bottoming out. This isn’t a prediction of what we think is about to happen but calls and emails recently have hit an all-time high and it will be interesting to see where the market goes from here.
