COMMENTARY
No major changes over the past week, so the outlook also remains unchanged. I did notice that some of my dividend/income holdings got hammered last week. I assume the selling was news-related, stemming from all the talk of a December interest rate hike by the US Federal Reserve. Whatever the reasons, or your strategy for that matter, keep in mind the following estimates from Tony over at OEW:
The [next] bear market should last about two years and the market should lose between 45% and 50% of its value… After six years of rising prices it is time to prepare for a couple years of declining prices.
Prepare accordingly!
