Tired of Market 'Corrections' Wiping Out Your Returns?
You have to love the way investment analysts use the word “correction” to describe a sudden precipitous fall in stock prices. First, I supposed they don’t like using phrases like “the bottom fell out of the market today” or similar words that more accurately describe what has actually happened.
But I think there’s a point to make that’s even more important than that. The way I see it, the only analysts who have the right to use the term “correction” when describing a broad and deep sell off, are those analysts who have been saying that the stock market is over priced, because at least they saw that most investors were “wrong” and needed “correcting.”
I put all the other investors in the “wrong” category and wow were they all wrong recently. As you may know, an October “correction” essentially took a year’s worth of stock market gains off the balance sheets. All of the Dow’s gains for 2014 were wiped out in the second week of October and the S&P 500 experienced its worst week in two years.
In light of that news, wouldn’t it be great to own an investment that doesn’t get “corrected”? Imagine a steady double-digit along unchanged for as much as 84 months.
This is what our Evoque Lending First Trust Deed investors are enjoying today. I often read that as people approach retirement age, they need to protect their investments from the wild mood swings of the stock market, but I’ve discovered something else in my years at Evoque Lending: Investors both young and old appreciate being able to depend on a steady, predictable, safe and generous return on their money. Let’s look briefly at each of those four attributes of investing in Evoque Lending First Trust Deeds.
