Altoona- The market has been on a wild ride! The Fed continues to speculate as to whether they’re going to raise interest rates or keep interest rates as they are…..this sends the wrong message to the market speculators creating chaos. This week, the market update includes a dose of common sense and reality. Stockpicking, market timing, and track record investing are three sure ways to doom ones portfolio and exhaust their retirement savings. Your life’s savings and retirement plans are way too important to allow knee-jerk reactions and opinions to sway the hard-core realities of financial planning.
