My Dad would always say.....

Well, here we sit about one month removed from a number of fearful market days. And yet, we made it through.....so far. A recovery such as we have witnessed is not the norm. But neither was the drop leading into it. Thus, what should we be thinking after we have now slightly surpassed "Market Levels: Part III" on the Dow Jones?

This one is simple, yet difficult for many to enact. All you need to know is one of my Dad's favorite sayings. "Son, don't look a gift horse in the mouth".

Now is the chance for you to regroup. That may mean continuing to stay the course. It could be simply verifying (based on my last blog post) that you have the income planned out for your needs over the next 12 months. Or it could be making adjustments to your overall risk allocation (now, better than a few weeks ago). Whatever the need, it's a gift we have currently to make those decisions not under duress. God is good!

Summer months are soon upon us. If you have continued to be grateful, think of good things, and follow along with our advice, then I'd bet to say you are doing alright. Keep the Faith and plan out a fun summer! Let us do the worrying. That is our job. And as things continue over the next few months, I remind you once again - there's a good chance the volatility is not over for 2025!
