Q2, 2018 MARKET SUMMARY

For most quarterly reports I like to draw your attention to the article included at the end of the report, this time around the article is one I sent out two months ago. Why would you have not read it then 😊, but just in case you missed it, you can check out the article and my take on it here.

Also, a page included in every quarterly report is the ‘World Stock Market Performance” that can be seen on page 4. You can see major headlines from around the world…good, bad, and indifferent. Do these headlines explain market performance? Maybe, maybe not. Most often we don’t truly know what makes a marker go up a few points today and down a few points the next, but it is important to remember these headlines remind us to view daily events from a long-term perspective and to avoid making long-term investment decisions based on short-term headlines.
