Berman’s Call:

Live, Extended, and Interactive

The year is off to its most volatile start since 2008 with January ranking amongst the worst 10 starts to the year for US equity markets. Does the January effect really mean this will be a bad year for markets, or does the recent correction spell opportunity for the emotionally mature investor? Oil has certainly dropped more than anyone expected, so what are the prospects for “lower for longer”now?  Is the low Canadian dollar good or bad for the economy? How do you protect your investment gains from the strong US dollar? Certainly when markets get wild, everyone making decisions for their own portfolio looks for some additional insight – while there is no crystal ball, there is a great deal we can determine for studying the market environment today compared to past corrections to put the odds in our favour.  Larry has a unique approach to evaluating risk and return and he continues to focus on helping investors make better investment decisions.
