I only wish it was as easy for clients to take and understand this advice. I love the first point as I cannot tell you how many plumbers, to gardeners tell me they saw this coming and so should have their broker. Pleeeeeease. No one truly saw the depths or magnitude of this............<br>I preach diversified quality holdings in tough and easy times. When markets are strong, people get greedy and overweight in specific sectors or stocks. And in sad markets such as now, everyone wants cash and proclaims that they told their advisor they did not want any risk........ you cant win either way. Thanks for the post Carl.
