October 15, 2008 Daily Morning Spot

Market volatility has reached new heights, as yesterday saw an all time record rise for the TSX, on the heels of a record Dow rise on Monday. When they turn, Bear Markets end very quickly, and a significant portion of the returns in a new Bull Market happen very early on…this is not to say we have seen the bottom of the current Bear, but it does make it critical to reposition your portfolio to benefit when the Bear Market ends. Many mutual funds have been forced into selling as investors panicked, and are not positioned for the recovery. If you have not discussed preparing your portfolio for the eventual recovery, perhaps you should call for a second opinion.
There is no better time to ask, “have you outgrown your mutual funds?”
