October's Market Update with John Chidwick and Chuck Foresyth, CFP®

"We've had a change in posture with interest rates, 2 presidential debates, 3 candidates, and 2 assination attempts since the last time we talked! " -Chip Munn, Senior Wealth Advisor, RJFS "You know, the old saying 'more money is lost preparing for the recession than the recession itself.' Sometimes not making a change is actually making a change. Let's wait to see how things play out, because a lot of times it's not what we think it's going to be." -John Chidwick, Senior Wealth Advisor, RJFS Disclaimer: Opinions expressed in the attached article are those of the author and are not necessarily those of Raymond James.

July's Market Update with John Chidwick and Chuck Foresyth, CFP®

"We must go back to January when we forecasted the year…. I was optimistic about the upcoming year but didn’t think it would be as good as it has been. The S&P year to date is up 15%…." -John Chidwick, Senior Wealth Advisor, RJFS Disclaimer: Opinions expressed in the attached article are those of the author and are not necessarily those of Raymond James.

April's Market Update with John Chidwick and Chuck Foresyth, CFP®

"March was the 5th straight month that the S&P 500 rallied 1% or more in a calendar month...

December's Live Market Update with CIO, Scott Mitchell

"We’re about to ring the final closing bell for 2022, and what a year it’s been. Given the number of drastically bad events this year, like the war in Europe and near-record inflation, we’re lucky that it wasn’t worse for the stock market. Still, it’s likely going to go down as one of the worst years ever for the bond market, as well as for balanced stock and bond portfolios. For the remainder of the year, I think conditions are favorable for the market to move higher. A lot will depend on what the Federal Reserve does and says regarding interest rates when it meets mid-month. Economic data has been very mixed, with some looking like the economy is slowing down, while others pointing to an economy, especially the labor market, that is very strong." -Signature Wealth Group's Chief Investment Officer, Scott Mitchell, brings us the December 2022 Market Update.

November's Live Market Update with CIO, Scott Mitchell

"As I’ve said before, this year has been especially difficult, as seemingly no investment strategy has worked. Both S&P 500 index of US stocks and the Barclays Aggregate Bond index are down more than 15% for 2022 as of November 8, and even gold is down this year. Within the stock market, only the energy (oil) sector has positive returns for the year. The other 10 sectors are all down, with communications services down an amazing 41%. Ordinarily, investors diversify their portfolios across stock, bonds, and alternatives since those assets tend to move in different directions, with the result being that investors experience a “smoother” experience. This year, though, that just hasn’t worked. " Signature Wealth Group's Chief Investment Officer, Scott Mitchell, brings us the August 2022 Market Update.
