Dear Joan, 
It's nearly impossible to open a newspaper, turn on the TV, or surf the web without coming across a doom-and-gloom story about the economy and the financial markets.  While there is no doubt we are in a rough spot, it's important to keep the long-term in perspective.  Having been in the financial services industry for over 26 years, I've seen this kind of thing before:  Slow growth, inflationary pressures, scandal in some financial market, week corporate profits, plunging consumer confidence and critical elections.   
 
Some financial advisors want to take a low profile during trying times; keeping their client contact to a minimum.  Not me! 
I want to talk about options and opportunities.  Only by building a relationship with you as your trusted advisor can we both succeed over time.
 
Here's to peace of mind and accomplishment in the rest of 2008! 
Strategies in "This Kind" of Market 
gilles small 7-08 
#1  Stay focused on your goals.  
 
#2  Keep a long-term perspective.  Opportunities often present themselves during periods of market volatility. 
 
#3 Volatility is a part of investing.  Volatility typically increases when uncertainty increases.  History has shown that once the uncertainly lifts, volatility declines. 
 
#4  Don't try to time the market.  Many of you have heard my story about Bear, Bulls and Pigs.  Pigs get slaughtered. 
 
#5  Rebalancing is critical.  Diversification, diversification, diversification.
 
Feel free to contact me at 651/578-2961 or jmgilles@pressenter.com to get more information on these or any other strategies (or to hear the Bear/Bulls/Pigs story).
 
I am committed to helping you with wealth building strategies even in difficult times.  Let's talk and get you on the road to your dreams and peace of mind. 
Sincerely,
 
Joan
