I’m not scared of this volatility.

Dear Reader, You shouldn’t always expect a smooth ride when investing in the stock market. Typically unforeseen sources of uncertainty rapidly appear, which introduces periods of volatility as the market attempts to process the information. The news surrounding the Omicron variant is a perfect example of this phenomenon. While bouts of volatility typically coincide with sharp selloffs, there’s usually an upside in the form of massive rallies. It’s easy to get discouraged with the news of extreme market volatility or poor market performance. But it’s essential to keep in mind that historically, gains are more likely than losses. Recently Baird Market Strategist Michael Antonelli provided some context on market performance. He said, “Based on the history of the S&P 500, you are more likely, in a single calendar year, to have a gain of 20% or more than any negative return at all.” With that said, it’s important as an investor to recognize that the market can be volatile over both the short and long term. However, as an investor, time is on your side. As we finish 2021, it is a great time to evaluate your portfolio and determine if your current investment strategy and portfolio mix match your long-term goals.
