Our expectation is that stocks will suffer even more volatility before they continue to grow. We believe this is due very soon. Our guess is that the stock markets will be affected mainly by the tension, which may take several weeks. Then the risk will increase on the sellers’s end. Looking ahead, it is important to understand that measures such as diversification and hedging do not mean risk abundance, but rather exploitation of opportunities. Any extreme market stress should force the Federal Reserve to take further actions to secure market stability.
