Time to remain open minded and flexible in your approach to the equity market.

Last week we noted the difference in the market environment investors are faced with this year. In 2017 it basically was a rising tide lifts all boats scene. If you had exposure to equities both domestically and internationally, you likely had a strong year. That isn't working so well in 2018. This year presents more challenges for investors, suggesting that market participants need to be flexible in their approach.
Stock picking has been the best way to outperform the averages, and that stock selection has NOT included the disappointing international scene. Every international market ETF is in the red for 2018.

Realist - Everybody in America is soft, and hates conflict. The cure for this, both in politics and social life, is the same -- hardihood. Give them raw truth.
