Why is the Market Going Down?

Retirement Talk Podcast with Laura Stover

While the data shows a healthy economy (job growth, consumer spending, and business investments are all up) the market is still on a downward trajectory. So, what is causing this decline? Is it Russia’s fault, inflation’s fault, the Fed’s fault, or some other factor? On today’s episode we are going to break down why the market is going down and the key indicators you need to keep your eye on to ensure you are on the right financial planning path while following the Redefining Wealth Process℠.

While we hope this is a normal correction, preparing for the possibility of a recession is necessary. The cost of making money is to be able to endure these moments. Limiting drawdowns, preserving your capital, and ensuring the six core pillars of the Redefining Wealth Process℠ are established within your plan will be necessary to withstand current and future market turns. Within the Redefining Wealth Process℠, we unpack these elements with our clients, evaluating and ensuring they are on the right strategic path that protects them and their investments.
