The Barbell Economy™

Difficult markets. They are never welcome.

Times like now are very tough as everyone moves through the jarring headlines and ugly, panicky market actions. They elicit fear and cloud judgment. Long-term views and lessons about patience and discipline, sadly, come dressed in ugly work clothes and scary visions. Fear ramps now. Disgust ramps now. The dominos one sees during the self-fulfilling stages of events like this are evident. We have lived through far worse.

IMPORTANT: While the spring-loading effect gets squeezed into markets, the pricing of "surprises in the future" tends to be created in the same dark clouds, setting the stage for the next leg up...even as it becomes the last thing anyone wants to hear.

As always, we are here to help.
