    Navigating "Sell In May & Go Away"

    Mother's Day is a time to celebrate and appreciate moms for their hard work and dedication. The saying 'sell in May and go away' refers to the historical trend of the stock market being less favorable during the summer months. Corporate earnings have been strong, with 80% of S&P 500 companies beating estimates. Inflation is hovering around 3%, which is close to the historical average. The US economy is performing better than other developed countries, with GDP growth projected at 2.7%. Job gain numbers are slowing down, which is in line with the Fed's goal of a more sustainable pace of growth. Interest rates are expected to come down, which is reflected in the bond market. Diversification, including investments in alternatives, can help reduce portfolio volatility and provide stability during uncertain times. -- Important Disclosures: The opinions voiced in this material are for general information only and are not intended to provide specific advice or recommendations for any individual.

    The Truth About Fossil Fuel

    Takeaways: The energy sector has a historically low weighting in the S&P 500, but fossil fuels are still a major part of the global economy. Oil prices are volatile and influenced by factors such as supply and demand, seasonality, and geopolitical events. The lack of investment in the energy sector has led to a decrease in production and challenges in meeting energy demands. Renewable energy is growing, but it currently represents a small percentage of global energy usage. Transitioning to renewable energy requires balancing sustainability and productivity. Burning trees for biomass fuel emits significant CO2 emissions. Fossil fuels have played a crucial role in improving quality of life. Mandating green energy can lead to practical and economic challenges. The production of electric vehicles involves carbon emissions. Capitalism drives innovation and the consumer will determine the future of energy. Higher oil prices may be a potential investment opportunity. -- Important Disclosures: The opinions voiced in this material are for general information only and are not intended to provide specific advice or recommendations for any individual.
