The Northern Star 3/14/18 Goldilocks Returns
Message from Jon
This past 12-15 days has seemingly marked the beginning to rebound stemming from our most recent correction. We have seen the VIX decrease below 20 and a quieting of the recent volatility for the time being. All this could change of course but for now, we will take what we can...kind of like the weather in Indiana recently!
In my opinion, we are seeing this market shaping up to feel a lot like 2012 where investors witnessed a lot of movement but very little progress. Those who stayed the course got to participate in 2013 and those who did not, missed out.
Message here is that we will stay the course, maintain our current heading and keep our focus on the shore line and not the short, choppy waters we find ourselves in.
Till we speak again, enjoy this sunshine.
Jon
