Although most market numbers are lower from last week’s posting, they continue to hold/climb higher generally month to month. What effect the auto industry fiasco and reporting of corporate financials will have in the short term is of course unpredictable. Always remember though, no matter which way the markets go, there will always be a sector(s) that will do well. That’s where I will be invested and with a pertinent investment strategy you will also be able to avoid losses during downturns and realize significant gains as economic conditions improve.
