Market Drop: Could We Have Seen This Coming?

We encourage our readers and listeners to our podcast to consult with their investment adviser before making a decision to buy or sell any investment.

And if you are relying on a podcast for specific investment advice, you are making a huge mistake. Please speak with an investment adviser before making ANY investment decisions.

If you do not have an investment adviser in the New Jersey or New York area, we encourage you to contact Mullooly Asset Management at 732-223-9000 or through our website.

Under no circumstances should any of the content discussed on this podcast be considered investment advice.

In this week’s podcast, we talk about John Dorfman‘s article in which he discusses the old Wall Street saying “the market climbs a wall of worry.”
But…when stocks (and stock markets) collapse, no one really cares about old stories or sayings. What investors want to know is

  1. Market Drop: Could We Have Seen This Coming?
  2. What Could We Have Done To Possibly Get Out Of Harm’s Way?

Very few (in my profession) have any answer for these questions.

Part of the reason is because so many are conditioned to be “perma-bulls:” they are pre-disposed to staying optimistically bullish, and keeping you invested in some far-off fantasy where everything works out great. Hey, life is not all purple pansies, sometimes things get messy. And sadly, some folks in my line of work get defensive/bearish AFTER the fact, when it is too late. Then they miss the next move.

In repeated conversations with clients, we hear the same phrases:

  • “Tom, we do not like the news/the headlines…”
  • “The economy worries me…”
  • “Tom, I do not like this stock market”

And, as soon as they mention those phrases, they get in a defensive posture.  They are conditioned to hear their adviser tell them “you have to look long term.”

We will not be optimistically bullish 100% of the time.
There are times we want to be IN the market.
There are times we want to be OUT of the market.
