Can we think long term?
What should investors expect from a long-term portfolio? The stock market has been brutal over a couple of years, and bonds have been the safe harbour. However, that equilibrium could wobble in 2018. Equity investors have been choosy about investments; however, corporate earnings have been rising.
Asset allocation is about to get a little trickier in 2018. Corporate profit growth, notwithstanding stock prices, has remained low. Shocks came from three unexpected areas: falling consumer optimism, the crushing tax increase and extreme weather. Combined, these affected spending directly, and hit consumer-exposed companies the hardest.
Equity investors will be watching US tax policy now, as the announced cuts are expected to generate a $1.5 trillion deficit over time. What will be the impact of refinancing dollar debt?
In Echelon’s special Investor’s Guide 2018, we look at the challenges facing the economy and markets in various angles through the experience of seasoned investors and commentators. Here’s wishing you a fantastic year of investing in 2018!
