A cautious and opportunistic strategy along with a diversified asset allocation remain the best way to protect your capital.Please feel free to contact This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
2018, a tumultuous year ?
Beginning February, votality regained momentum for the first time since beginning 2016 and stayed high.
What does it mean ?
It means that for an unexpected reason stock markets were surprised and an emotional reaction ensued, like the reaction a human being would have.
What was one of the reasons ?
Certainly, shareholders realised that interest rates would go higher with a global economic improvement. This factor was taken into account in February instead of last year because of euphoria.
In this context, companies with high Price/Earnings ratios suffered the most. The sectors that outperformed in that last parabolic wave were on the top of the negative performance list.
Strong economic factors, especially in Europe, might reassure shareholders in the next three to six months.
But, following this strong alert in stock markets, we suggest to be cautious and opportunistic along the bumpy road in 2018.
We strongly advise clients to get information from trusted sources and to build their own view of the economic cycle in order to act accordingly and to avoid losses by the end of 2018.
