No One Can Predict The Future!

 

Claims of having navigated markets 'like this' before are blatantly false. While the current bear market may have begun similarly to those in 2001 and 2008, this situation bears no resemblance to the past two bear markets. One can see this divergence in the chart below.

 

In fact, the market is so unpredictable that some pundits have compared it to a 'random walk,' analogous to someone wandering through an unfamiliar city with no idea where to go.

 

Because the future remains uncertain, it's crucial for investors to adopt a process-driven approach. By analyzing data, conducting thorough research, diversifying investments, and managing drawdown risk, we believe investors are better positioned to reach their financial objectives.
