2020 Mid-Year Market Update
In the recording of my mid-year update presentation, I cover a lot of ground. Topics include the following:
- we had the fastest 35% stock market decline in history just this past March
- A Global Economic Supply and Demand shock took place with the virus shutdown
- This was then met with a Massive US Federal Reserve and Federal Government Response
- Stock then had a major bounce (unevenly)
- The economy appears to be recovering (also unevenly)
- Safe Investments/High Quality US Bonds are now at very low interest rates
- Stocks currently appear expensive, given current expected profitability
- Meaningful uncertainties remain
- The coming months should provide additional clarity on the outstanding uncertainties
- Our thought is to remain on the more cautious side for now
- Overall, things are currently looking better than feared
- As always, we are following the situations closely and acting accordingly as the situation evolves
