Today's Financial Shocks

Think about what's happened in the last 18 months:

Oil went from -37.63 a barrel to over $115 a barrel Unemployment went from 14.7% to 3.6% 30 Year Fixed went from 2.5% to 5.25% Inflation went from .35% to 8.5%

This has been one of the wildest financial years on record - yet the stock market when this started was at S&P 2,700 and it is still around 4,400.

Any one of these would be considered 'shocks' in the past and they are all happening at the same time!

When you open your financial box, and here 'surprise' - sometimes a financial advisor can help you see the big picture.
