Didn’t see a war coming in the first quarter…
It felt like we would have a continuation of 2025, at least through the first half of 2026, but war always brings a downside. At least some of the stocks we have been interested in buying have better prices. The problem is the stocks we already hold also have better prices, lower ones! Which doesn’t help us!
They say we have an average of one market correction every two years, some are worse than others, some happen so fast, if you went on vacation, you would have missed it entirely, others happen back-to-back, in the same year. (Awfully painful…) But regardless of the corrections, we have done well by not selling into them.
The best part of market corrections is coming out of them and finding the next upside to the markets. I hope this war is over as quickly as possible and all our soldiers come home safe.
Please call if you have any questions or concerns.
