Twas the night before Christmas,
And to investors’ great glee,
The markets were advancing,
To new high territory.
What will 2007 bring? 2006 held record highs for the indexes, the Dow gaining more then 15% and the NASDAQ gaining about 9%. Interest rates were again at historically low levels and retail pre-Christmas buying fell below expectations in some sectors, but boomed in others.
Many variables will influence the outcome of 2007 and this month’s newsletter gives us an overview of the past and opinion going forward. One advisor applies “the pros” while giving us his view of the markets while our other advisors give their insight as well as educational commentary on the “power of investing”.
Will the bulls overcome those with less optimistic views to keep the up trend going? Will 2007 be another record breaking year? Regardless of the amount you have available to invest, the important thing is to educate yourself about your opportunities.
Fortunately, our advisors have their own ideas on what will be happening in the upcoming year, and have diligently researched their specific market expectations and outlook.
Sincerely,
