Good evening everyone,
I’d like to share our investment team’s position as we enter this final quarter and provide guidance on what to expect over the next few months. As a reminder, we’ve been holding at least 20% cash across all of our accounts since January of this year. Now is the best time for all of us to be practicing what we often only discuss theoretically. Dollar-cost-averaging in this market is a very important habit that will lead to long-term success because as long as the fed keeps raising rates and inflation remains high, the market will keep cycling downish while it swings up and down.
Will's opinion is over the next 6-9 months is the best time for you to be adding to your account so that as soon as the Fed reverses course and starts lowering rates, you’ll be positioned to buy equities as the market sentiment turns positive. These next few months are also the best time to be saving for additional real estate acquisitions. With mortgage rates near 7%, sellers will be forced to start lowering rates and deals will start to show up over the next two quarters as sellers face liquidity needs.
