Market Milestones to Watch for in the Months to Come
With the whipsaw trading we’ve seen of late, it appears that the U.S. financial markets are already chewing through the post-election honeymoon. I have to say that I, for one, am relieved that’s the case because it signals that the markets are already returning to normal.
I realize it may not feel that way, but there’s one very important thing to remember: We nearly always seem to receive the best news near, or at, market tops, and the worst news near, or at, market bottoms.
