A Return of Market Volatility
Throughout the course of 2013, the markets have seen a meteoric rise. Most major markets have experienced 12% or more gains in the first five months of the year. This type of return would be considered a fantastic one year performance. 2013 is not your typical year.
As we approached the end of May, we begin to hear so-called market experts call for a down turn. They have said the Fed will discontinue QE regime, and that the market have been artificially held up by the excess cash reserves flowing into the equity markets. A correction is typical of a bullish equity market but this correction shouldn’t signal a reversal in the overall upward trend.
