Protect your Investments. Why risk all the gains you've earned in the last 10 years? Are you trying to "time the market", being greedy, or is your ego getting the best of you? Ask me how can I guarantee against market downturns... @rickygadvisor _______________________ What Bull Markets Die Of There’s reason to be jittery — and not just because this month is also the 10th anniversary of the start of the financial-crisis downturn that cut stock values by more than half over 17 months. The current run-up, after all, is the second longest and strongest on record; an 10 ½ - year climb that has more than quadrupled equity prices. Stocks are expensive by historical standards, too. And you never know what exogenous event could be a trigger for a scary market drop. (It’s an old Wall Street adage that bull markets die of fright, not old age.) “Many people have become complacent because this bull market has gone on for so long,” says Christine Benz, director of personal finance at Morningstar. “But the risks are really quite high.” That’s especially true for near- and early-retirees who have less time to ride out losses than younger people. So how can you protect yourself? While the standard advice to “stay the course” no matter what the market does in the short-term still holds, imagine the course as a three-lane highway. If you’re close to, or already in, retirement, it’s time to start shifting to the right, where cautious driving prevails.
