Market Commentary
So far, so good…we managed to get through the first quarter in great shape. Typically, if the market dips below the December low, we can expect a tough year.
Most of our research sources seem to point towards a positive year, especially since it is an election year. Regardless of the politics, the market has a normal course; It moves up in the early quarter, flattens out during the summer, pulls back before the election, then pops back up after the election, regardless of which party wins. It makes no sense, but that is what typically happens.
It seems that we may have a nice year to look forward to, and maybe some lowering of the interest rates. That will help anyone who’s buying a house, and it will help our accounts do better.
Please call if you have any questions or concerns.
