The old saying goes: there are only two certainties in life—death and taxes. In financial planning, we can add another certainty: market volatility.
Lately, it may feel like markets are more volatile than ever. You may be wondering if this volatility will be the new normal; and continue for the rest of 2019. It’s important to remember that market swings are normal, and part of healthy market behavior. The best way to deal with volatile markets is to not lose sight of the big picture. Long-term investors with a well-constructed financial strategy can withstand and gain from periods of market volatility.

We are going to close out with a quote from Sitting Bull, he said,
“Behold, my friends, the spring is come; the earth has gladly received the embraces of the sun, and we shall soon see the results of their love!”
True words.
