The Show:

Most people expected 2020 could bring a little volatility with the upcoming election and other events, but no one could predict what we’ve seen in the first quarter of the year. 

The coronavirus quickly became an International crisis and that impact has fully taken its hold in our country. While health concerns continue to be front and center, the other significant fallout from this pandemic can be found in the financial markets. 

Fear and speculation have driven stocks down and the rapid sell off has been unlike anything we’ve ever seen. The pullback has been sharp and it’s taken place over the course of just a few weeks. Many people are worried and that’s to be expected. This isn’t easy for anyone to experience as it’s happening, but it’s important to keep perspective. 

That’s the goal for this episode of Your Money & Your Life with Don Cash. He’ll update us on how things are going for him, his family, and the office in terms of daily life. Then we’ll turn to the market and find out what he thinks of everything that’s happening right now. You might be a little surprised to hear that there hasn’t been an influx of calls to the office, which means that investors have confidence in their retirement plan.

What about the next few weeks and months ahead? What can we expect from the market and what moves will the government make? These are just a couple of the things we’ll discuss as it relates to the coronavirus. 

We’ll also talk planning for a bit to give you some idea of the next steps you might want to take with your plan. As always, it’s vital to work with an advisor to make sure you’re portfolio fits your goals, but it’s even more important during volatile times like these. Hopefully this episode will give you a little peace of mind.
