The Story of March
Warren Buffet is often quoted as saying the following about the stock market; “in the short run, it’s a voting machine. In the long run, it’s a weighing machine”. It’s a phrase the carries important weight when we are navigating painful price corrections in the stocks we are INVESTED in. One of the main sources of client regret we come across is what their life would look like had they invested, not traded, in companies that were dominating and leading megatrends in the economy. The key is learning from the mistakes of the past and using corrections favored stock prices as moments to invest.
In this week’s stock market update, we will review the month of March and the factors that hurt our monthly performance. We will take a close look at historical drawdown experiences and what the forward rate of returns have been for clients that invested or stayed invested during moments of temporary weakness. Third, we will address the role of active investing relative to an index approach and, when successful, where and how value is identified and generated relative to the broader stock market.
