Dear Mr. Market:
We have commented many times on how people have short memories. In the case of recent stock market behavior, however, there is no way one could forget what a ride we’ve all been on.

That said, there will of course be areas of the stock market that continue to get punished but others that provide opportunity once we get through this.
We believe the broad market will recover to the full levels we recently saw within the next three years. Some economic sectors, however, will struggle more than others as have a few additional conflicts to resolve. One such sector is oil and with the Saudi Arabia and Russian trade spat we saw U.S. oil prices drop -34% in one night! Which stocks will survive and which have the best chance to recover?

Finally some better news with documentation…
There is light at the end of the tunnel and here is some news worth taking a peak at: Continue reading
