Renee's Reality - March, 2023

Greetings Everyone,

Happy Spring!

Spring is a sign of new beginnings.  I am seeing the buds coming out and the weather getting warmer.  Driving home in the light is always nice as well.

This time of year is also a busy one!  Spring cleaning, running kids to practices, and of course, completing your taxes.  There is always a check list.  We are here to help if you need assistance in keeping your investments in line with your goals.

Market update:  Markets will remain volatile, however the Fed’s .25% rate hike this week will tame inflation and stagflation. We feel it is imperative for our clients to stay focused on their long-term goals and to not let short-term swings in the market derail them from their longer-term objectives. https://d.stockcharts.com/freecharts/historical/img/100-120.png

Personal Note:  It has been one of the most challenging times of my life.  When sickness comes out of the blue for someone you love, it is devastating.  Happy to say that Spring will bring new beginnings and blessings.  My Dad always said “for every adversity there is an equal or greater benefit.” I do believe that going through everything we have gone through will make us better advisors as well as compassionate human beings.  Here at VIP we want you to live the life you want.  Let us help guide you there, even with all bumps in the road and everything life throws at you.

Cheers to health and happiness! (Prosperity always helps too!) 😊

Best Regards,

Renee
