Market Volatility: How Stable are your investments?
posted in Market Volatility |In a recent article at Yahoo Finance, the questions are asked regarding how to put the recent market downdraft in a historical perspective. According to the statistics, the recent market volatility was more of a return to normal than anything out of the ordinary. In fact, we have been enjoying a long period of low volatility and good returns which, if anything, is what was out of the ordinary.
Reasonable forecasts of market volatility based on similar periods in market history suggest that we could experience several more large downdrafts in the coming year or so. Given this outlook, it is time to take stock of where your portfolio stands, and how it is positioned to withstand market shocks.
