Quote of the Week
“A wise man will make more opportunities than he finds.” – Francis Bacon
Tech Corner
Last week was another typical Quad IV week. All the major indexes were down between -2.08% for the Dow and -2.77% for the Nasdaq. So far this week the indexes are down again. Folks, this isn’t over. There is really nothing holding up the equity markets, especially with the Federal Reserve being ultra-aggressive in raising rates.
Larry’s Thoughts
We haven’t shown you this table recently that we put together many years ago. The major problem to avoid in successful asset management is minimizing losses. Our investment process is designed to limit losses through the use of mathematics (Calculus) and fundamental research. Then buy back in when the markets trends turn positive.
The red bar in the table shows percentage losses, and the green bar shows the percentage return necessary to get back to even. If you can keep losses to a minimum, you would obviously have more of your capital to take advantage of a rising market.
