Sterling Weekly for November 17th, 2008
The overall market as measured by the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost approximately 446.50 points, or approximately 5% last week to finish at 8,497.31 In the 1st full week since the Presidential election the overall market continued to see a high degree of volatility. The broad market continues to be under pressure with the high tech sectors looking the worst. I am continuing to look for the overall market to move lower. Our downside targets on the Dow Jones Industrial Average are currently 8,175.77 and then 7,762.34
There was a lot of talk last week on CNBC about the death of the Buy & Hold strategy. Well, the Buy & Hold strategy was never meant to be Buy & Forget. Buy & Hold means having a long term perspective on the investments in your portfolio, but it doesn't mean you can or should try to ignore economic cycles or fundamental changes in our economy such as new technology or a fundamental change in consumer preferences. All remember that yesterday's winners may very easily not be today or tomorrows winners. While it may very well be a good time to be buying shares of Wal-Mart, keep in mind that Sears, and K-mart (as well as many other companies) were both at one time the largest retailers in America, they both filed bankruptcy years after having reached that level. After you invest in a company through the purchase of the shares you still need to monitor the performance of the company and how its industry in fairing in the overall economy. But keep in mind that just because you have a longer term investment objective it doesn't mean you can't adjust your portfolio from time to time.
