Dear Reader, I was just reading a recent article in Barron's with this headline... Don’t Panic but Half of Smart Investors See End of Bull Market in the Next Year Barron's was reporting on a survey of endowments, foundations, and public pensions representing $1.3 trillion in total assets. 46% of these elite managers already believe the bull market will end in the coming year, 32% see it lasting maybe two years, and 14% say the bull is already dead! If they’re worried, it’s no wonder that retail investors are concerned too. What makes things worse is, unlike professional money managers, most retail investors don’t have a plan in place. And that means they’re not prepared for what’s coming. I set up my recession blog to help my readers with this very important issue. But it’s clear to me that I need to do more. The questions and comments I’ve been getting on the blog—plus the many emails investors have sent directly to me—show just how uncertain people are about what to do with their portfolios. You should see my inbox right now! So I’m working tirelessly on a way to help everyone. Stay tuned. I’ll have much more to tell you in a few days. Please go to the recession blog now and post your most urgent questions. Your concerns will help guide me to the best possible solution to help you. This is your chance to join fellow readers, ask me a question, and see what investors are talking about right now. See you there! Until next time, Robert Ross Senior Equity Analyst
