If an individual is fortunate enough to participate in the bounty of a bull market cycle; they need a strategy to navigate a potential 14+ year stretch of bearish conditions. It is important to have at one's disposal strategies that are effective in both rising and falling markets.
Adaptation Is Key

We have been around long enough to know that life isn’t infinite. If you go down 50% it takes going up 100% just to break even! As financial planners we put as much emphasis on capital preservation as we do capital appreciation. Our goal is to achieve returns above the respective benchmark while taking on less total risk. We do so by following a rules based approach and only investing in securities that have high relative strength. We bring value by analyzing the fundamental and technical market data to discover intermediate and long-term trends and invest in asset classes that indicate demand is in control.
