End of Year Note from Marc Becker To our wonderful clients,
With ongoing woes in Europe, 2011 has been as topsy-turvy as it gets. We've watched 20% swings in the markets every few months amid escalating sales and falling unemployment in the U.S. My hope was to see more progress in the market by this time.
However, good economic news has taken a back seat to provocative and widely un-interpretable political ramblings abroad. There is a stellar outcome in this, as we've continued to pick up shares at substantial discounts as high dividends have posted throughout.
Market values have not illustrated the impact of this on our portfolios, but for re-investors low priced market cycles are most desirable. 2012 is set up to be rocky in the beginning, but I feel strongly that prices will begin to reflect the benefits by year's end.
Everyone at Wiser thanks you for your business and attention to our frequent postings. Please let us know if there is anything we can do for you. I look forward to seeing you in the new year.
Thank you!
