Recent Market Turmoil

Dear Ocean Wealth Family:

I understand it is a scary time in the markets and the world.

However, in my 24 years as a Wealth Manager & Investor, if I could have picked the best times to invest: it would it would have always been times just like this.

In every major market downturn:

- Dot-Com Bubble Crash
- 2008 Financial Crisis
- COVID-19 Pandemic Crash

It would have paid long term to invest, or stay invested, before or after the crash, as the markets eventually reached new highs.

While no one can predict when those highs might occur, if your timeframe is Long, then you can't lose. Because history has proven that markets are efficient and rise over time.

So, while the world is screaming, shift your mindset and focus on the opportunity.

We will move through this together.

As Warren Buffet, the greatest investor, or all time, says. “A simple rule dictates my buying: Be fearful when others are greedy and be greedy when others are fearful.” – Buffet
