The 2017 Market: Winds of Change: Headwinds and Tailwinds
Submitted by Affinity Capital on January 27th, 2017The dynamics of this market year look to be some of the most interesting in many years. Let’s take a look at some of the issues that may provide tailwinds to propel the markets forward as well as the headwinds that may restrict market progress. We are unconcerned with politics since any major changes in the policies of a governing body throughout history will bring divergent rhetoric. The winds of change can create extreme swings in our nation’s politics and policies. The markets prefer smooth tailwinds in policy to aid in pushing the markets forward with occasional gusts to provide the volatility that creates opportunity. The goal is to stay focused on the health of our portfolios.
