Invest for the Long Term

This is Jeff Wareham, ScotiaMcLeod Wealth Advisor, with some thoughts
for investors outgrowing their mutual funds.

March of 2009 has just arrived, and it appears the Dow is poised to
break through the 7000 mark. Although the impact of that is primarily
psychological, it is a sign of the painful fall in wealth over the
last eighteen months. Since late 2007, The Dow and Standard and Poors
have been cut in half, and even legendary investors like Warren Buffet
have been hit very hard. However, amid all the doom and gloom, there
is still opportunity, as Buffet highlighted in his just released
letter to investors. If you are troubled by the state of your
portfolio, and looking to rebuild for the future, you really should
take Buffet's approach, and invest for the long term. One of the key
elements of his recent portfolio moves has been a focus on income, and
in volatile markets, being paid interest and dividends is a great way
to protect your wealth. Call me, and let me show you how.
