The first quarter of 2018 and been as a bit like a windy day on a sailboat… a lot of ups and downs. Kevin Gormley shares data and observations on what happened in the markets and how you can steer through the rough seas and stay on target with your investment goals.

2nd Quarter Market numbers paint an interesting picture of the varied market reactions to interest rates, currency and policy changes. Different asset classes (investments) had very different returns. Small and large companies didn’t move together with small companies having higher returns. After multiple positive quarters, foreign developed and emerging markets underperformed across the board probably due to the strength of the US dollar. Finally, as bad as the returns were in Q1 for REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts) that asset class had fantastic returns in Q2- proving that patience and discipline may be rewarded.

We recorded our Cyber Security webinar for those of you who weren’t able to attend and/or for those who want to review the information again. Leading Edge teamed up with the information security experts at CyberDx to discuss how to keep your online financial data secure and prevent identity theft. Topics covered include: Basic Computer Security Practices, Phishing, Viruses/Malware and a Q & A segment. This is a recording of the live webinar we hosted on February 15, 2018.
