If you’ve been paying attention, it seems a little sprinkle of doom and gloom, all over again. Rate increases from the Fed to tone down inflation may still happen, leading the time for rate decreases to extend.
We’ve also had the debt and credit downgrades causing a tailspin, as well as a less than exciting earnings season. If you haven’t sold throughout the past few years, you know to hold through these days as well.
As I have been talking so much about, lately, it’s a great time to average down on the companies you know will make it through.
I would say the most brightening comments have been the fact that most think that there are no more fears for recession. Of course, that could always change, especially if rates increase further. Protect yourself, your finances, and make sure you have emergency funds to cover yourself for 12 months. This will help you keep your head on straight when it comes to the numbers possibly entering the red again.
Don’t forget about BONDS! Bond yields typically increase during these times, and from what we have seen, they are. I would start looking into picking up some Bonds or Bond Funds to maintain a great yield while others go down.
