An Extreme Week

The studies show that equity prices will likely bounce over the next few months, even if the equity markets do enter a bear market later.

Important Disclosures:  Calculated Wealth LLC dba Stillpoint (“Calculated Wealth”), is a registered investment adviser and is registered with the SEC.  Registration does not imply a certain level of skill or training. The presence of this website on the Internet shall not be directly or indirectly interpreted as a solicitation of investment advisory services to persons of another jurisdiction unless otherwise permitted by statute. Follow-up or individualized responses to consumers in a particular state by Calculated Wealth in the rendering of personalized investment advisor for compensation shall not be made without our first complying with jurisdiction requirements or pursuant to an applicable state exemption. All written content on this site is for information purposes only. Opinions expressed herein are solely those of Calculated Wealth, unless otherwise specifically cited. Material presented is believed to be from reliable sources and no representations are made by our firm as to another parties’ information accuracy or completeness. All information or ideas provided should be discussed in detail with an advisor, accountant, or legal counsel prior to implementation.

While Calculated Wealth’s investment strategies are based on sound economic and investment principles, there is no guarantee client objectives will be met. Investment outcomes are always uncertain.

Backtested performance is hypothetical and does not reflect trading in actual accounts. As such, backtests are provided for informational purposes only to indicate historical performance had particular investments strategies been utilized over the relevant time frame. Backtested performance does not represent actual performance and should not be interpreted as an indication of such performance. Backtested returns do not represent the performance results of actual trading and are calculated through the retroactive application of the advisor's portfolio configuration, designed with the benefit of hindsight. Since backtested performance results do not represent actual trading, they may not reflect the impact that material economic and market factors might have had on the decision-making of the adviser, if the adviser were managing the client assets.

No representation is being made that the adviser’s strategy will or is likely to achieve profits or losses like those shown. In fact, there are frequently significant material differences between backtested performance results and performance results subsequently achieved by following a strategy. In addition, backtested performance does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or adhere to a trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of backtested performance results and all of which can adversely affect actual trading results.

The results portrayed reflect the reinvestment of dividends, interest and other income, as appropriate. In actual portfolios rebalancing occurs at no set time, and such actions are dependent on both market conditions and individual client liquidity inflows and outflows, along with the cost impact of such transactions on the overall portfolio.

As with any investment strategy, there is potential for profit as well as the possibility of loss. Calculated Wealth does not guarantee any minimum level of investment performance or the success of any client account or investment strategy. All investments involve risk and investment recommendations will not always be profitable. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Backtested results do not guarantee future results.

Results are compared to the performance of the S&P 500 Index ETF (SPY) and other benchmarks for informational purposes only. The adviser’s investment program does not mirror the S&P 500 Index, and the volatility of the adviser’s investment program may be materially different. The securities or other instruments included in the S&P 500 Index are not necessarily included in the adviser’s portfolio, and criteria for inclusion in the S&P 500 Index are different than those for investment by the adviser. The performance of the S&P 500 Index ETF was obtained from published sources believed to be reliable, but which are not warranted as to accuracy or completeness. All references to the S&P 500 Index ETF SPY are to the total return form of the ETF, meaning the impact of dividends is included. Unless noted otherwise, the returns of indices presented herein do not reflect fees or transaction costs, nor net dividends, if any. A description of each index follows: The S&P 500 Index, a diversified index that includes the stocks of 500 U.S. listed, large capitalization companies in major industries.

Past performance, including hypothetical past performance, is not indicative of future performance. There can be no assurance that the adviser will achieve client objectives. Any performance information, market analysis or data or other information is not warranted by Calculated Wealth as to completeness or accuracy, express or implied, and such information is subject to change without notice. Calculated Wealth’s investment strategies may change from time to time based on market conditions and enhancements to its investment methods and strategies without further notice.
