Market Volatility

The markets have been swinging lately, and unfortunately most of the movement has been downward. Especially in the resource sector. Some companies have seen some large losses!

Will investment securities continue to go down? nobody knows - but definitely not forever!

When will investment securities turn around? Again no one knows.

Buy and hold - well - if you are overly exposed to the resource sector, you may not want to buy and hold.
If you have a well rounded diversified investment portfolio - then yes - buy and hold is the proper strategy.
