This year has been a challenge for investors. The stock market has dropped significantly and is well into a correction. It has fallen enough, we are almost in a bear market. (The NASDAQ is in a bear market!). Probably one of the more frustrating parts of 2022, the bond market has not helped the way it normally does.
There is always a reason to sell stocks. Whether it is inflation, interest rates, wars, or politics you can always find a reason why selling stocks is a good idea. We also discuss paying off your mortgage vs investing. Is there a wrong decision? And we share the concept of spending risk in retirement.
Our Financial Advisor in our Marietta, Ohio Office sat down with WMOA's Brett Wharff during the Marietta Chamber of Commerce's weekly show. How does 25 years as a fianancial advisor look? Neal talks about that and more.
Are we nearing the retirement danger zone? After 13 years of incredible gains in stocks, we may be due for a significant correction. A bad year right before or early in your retirement could create a problem. It has to do with a concept called sequence of returns risk.
The investment world is off to a rough start in 2022. Since the beginning of the year, most of the major stock market indexes are now in correction territory. The S&P 500 is down nearly 14%. The more technology-heavy NASDAQ composite continues to flirt with "bear market" status. It is down more than 18%.
The StockMarket remains near all-time high levels. In addition, the last several years have been very good to investors. Could the stock market be running out of steam? A significant Correction or a Bear Market is likely to happen at some point. We don’t know when it will start or how bad it will be. But now is a great time to ask yourself, “Are You Ready for the Next Bear Market?”
