Short term market moves are not something we pay much attention to but given all the negative sentiment out there we felt it important to remind investors that the markets we actually UP last week. ALL of the markets we up, not just a select few, and most posted gains around 2%.

Normally 2% gains would be considered a pretty good week but in these times of uncertainty the negatives are weighing more heavily on the brain than the positives, and with all the negative events swirling around it’s easy to see how positive market moves might get pushed to background. Still, the market is reminding us that there are some positives out there that we should pay attention to. Like the fact that trade between nations is still going on and doing reasonable well. So let’s remember all the Green Arrows, and therefore try and be relaxed about our investments even if we’re not relaxed about the environment surrounding them.
