Moving forward, what can we expect? ...or hope for? We are informed by the longer term trends

The TSX The Canadian 'Big Smoke' The trend line looks to recovery. It is important that you not only regard the slope, but are advised of the numbers. [Apologies: this is view-it-on-a-BIG-screen material, so we will tell you]

For the period from June 9, 2017 at 940 through to May 1, 2020 at 910 we see a slight decline but a trend, apparently, to hold its own.

That's DOWN - 3.19% in ± 3 years

 

These are results for the S&P 500, the same time period, and while the image makes the results look similar, look at the numbers: Up from 224 in 2017 to 240 in 2020.

This represents the Large Cap US Market. These tend to be large conservative growth companies in the US.

This would normally be our 1st conservative choice. Prior to this Market, it was UP 51.78% at 2.75 years. Now, it is UP 7.14% in ±3 years

 

Here's a look at Nasdaq QQQ Showing the greatest movement or change over the past 3 years, we see that it is here that the innovators, the nimble participate.

Look at the results ...not just the slope of the line, but the results: UP from 140 in 2017 to 220 in 2020. The innovators.

That's UP 57% in ±3 years.

 

We think this is the time to look to the nimble, the innovators as we build to a 'New Normal." This is a more aggressive arena with a track record worth considering.

Our job is to make you money. Our philosophy of Own your Future still drives us to find you a discrete income stream derived from investments that have a potential for growth. That has not changed. In a world where capital values have been so depressed, we are looking for ways to add some future growth.

We have been known for our ability to be nimble, ourselves. We have seen upheaval before, and our insights into various aspects of the Market and Market Performers have us looking to how this ‘New Reality’ is moving.

You have seen that Noah Blackstein’s Dynamic Funds have performed well for us before. Noah is found among the innovators.

 

This shows Dynamic up 87% over those same 3 years. Here is fertile ground to build your principal back up.
