not an exact measure, a 20% stock market drop from the most recent high is what we call a “bear market”. It consists of lows,

by lower lows, with minor highs that don’t reach the previous

March 23rd, 2020 was the lowest point of the S&P 500 closing at 2,304.92. On January 3rd, 2022 the S&P 500 reached an all-time high, closing at 4,796.56. Since then, the index hasn’t reached January levels again. But remains about 1,500 points higher as we enter the 4th Qtr. of 2022. ese are not alarming uctuations. Nonetheless, it’s a call to proceed with caution.

e red line on the chart helps visualize the decline, while “tuning out noise” or temporary rallies. ese rallies typically result from speculation that doesn't always a ect stock markets in a fundamental manner.

In a bear market, investors normally have a small window of opportunity to be proactive and make necessary adjustments to their portfolios. Recent market volatility and the Federal Reserve’s remarks on continued rate hikes, hint the possibility of a prolonged bear market. But changes in economic policy are reactionary measures, not anticipatory. e Federal Reserve works slow and now their attempt to stabilize prices might be too little and too late.

People normally panic in times of turmoil, challenging their ability to make rational investment decisions. e most common emotional reactions are herding behavior, recency bias and knee-jerk reactions. While I don’t have the right to tell you not to panic, I have, however, the training and education to tell you there’s no need to panic, yet. ese are economic concerning times, but we’ve been expecting a big stock market crash for quite some time now. A cycle shi from unprecedented growth due to easy money is long overdue.

ese cycles happened in the past, all over the world, and the only reason we may not recognize them immediately is because they haven’t happened in our lifetime. We didn’t live through the “Roaring 20s”, or e Great Depression; we read about it. We remember high interest rates of the early 1980s but were starting to or in the middle of saving for the future. You probably can’t identify if they impacted you in a signi cant way. We remember most vividly the last 20-25 years.

If you proceed with caution, seek nancial literacy and professional advice (with a focus on risk management), there’s a higher probability the current economic pressures will not lead to nancially devastating decisions, as you will be better prepared and more conscious of what’s happening. Beware of bear market traps. Chasing a er short-lived market returns, listening and reacting to noise, even procrastination, may not yield you the desired outcome.

Life is becoming more and more di cult to navigate, it seems to me. Too many choices! Even the small stu ba es me at the grocery store, the drug store, home depot, Lowe’s and on and on. For example, I don’t know the last time any of you have gone into a home supply store to purchase a light bulb, which a few years ago was a no-brainer. Your bulb blew, you know the wattage you needed, you go to the store, pick the package up, the wattage was on the front, and check out was a cinch. Now, the row of light bulbs goes on forever, and I cannot ever understand what it is they are trying to sell me. Daylight, warm light, bug light, intense light, so light…etc. Indoor, outdoor, indoor/outdoor, clear glass, frosted glass…I know you know what I’m talking about!

When was the last time you went to the grocery store for a simple package of cookies? I spent een minutes wondering what kind of cookie I should chose, because the entire row is stu ed with every possible color, avor, thickness, and size. Gluten free, sugar free, crunchy, so …some which have also become cereals…that seems to be the latest trend…if you love your cookie, you can probably nd it in the cereal aisle, posing as breakfast, so you can have it with a bowl of milk for breakfast..

For me, the worst is purchasing a mattress…Just when you’ve found a mattress you love, it’s time to change it for a new, less lumpy one, but the problem is, although the manufacturer may be the same, Sealy, Serta, Beauty Rest, etc. the name and style number of the mattress you love has been changed to a completely di erent name. When I asked about this, one salesperson said it is not uncommon for mattress names to be changed or eliminated, sometimes every six months, thereby causing immense confusion. As well, I don’t see how lying on a mattress in a showroom can possibly give you all the information needed in ve minutes, and it usually doesn’t. If I worked in a mattress store I would be completely bald from pulling my hair out, knowing full well that the mattress someone choses is going to be coming back in a month, and another one purchased. Imagine how ludicrous it is to spend ve minutes lying on a model, and eight hours sleeping in bed, tossing and turning, knowing you made the wrong decision and lying awake the rest of the night hoping for just one more chance…and that’s usually all you get…one more chance. If your second choice (usually a er having a miserable 30 days on the mattress before it can be exchanged) doesn’t work out…well, too bad. You’re stuck with it!

It’s the same with purchasing a car. Turn the clock back several decades to Ford, Chevrolet, Pontiac, Plymouth and a few others with perhaps a choice or two in each category. Now, there are a zillion cars, and sub-zillion models, to test drive, and you are expected to spend anywhere between twenty-thousand dollars to over one hundred thousand dollars for a car you might not even like a er a week or two. Not to mention, that if you’re purchasing a new car, the minute you drive it o the lot, it has depreciated! Yet, we all seem to accept this. ink of it. One of the major purchases aside from a house, is essentially made blind, and guaranteed to go down in value.

For What it’s Worth, this should not be the norm, and yet it is, for every household in America. It’s no wonder we’re all exhausted at the end of the day, hoping for rest. Unfortunately, many of us will not get a good night’s sleep on the mattress we bought!

The Top 9 Benefits of Hurricane Impact Windows

1.) Stronger Protection and Greater Insulation from Storms Impact windows (a/k/a hurricane windows) are designed to withstand Category-5 hurricane winds (200-mph+). An interlayer is situated between two thick layers of glass, ensuring that absolutely no water, debris, and/or wind will enter your home to cause damage. Even if the outer glass of the window is somehow punctured, the glass is designed to crack in a spiderweb pattern, thus eliminating the possibility of the window blowing out entirely.

2.) Energy-Efficient

Hurricane windows seal off the interior of your home so well that your air conditioning bill can decrease. You don’t have to worry about your air, or your money, going out the window—literally.

3.) Less Time, Energy, and Anxiety

With alternative storm protection methods, you need to invest your time and energy preparing your home for the impending storm. This preparedness can cause you stress if something suddenly does not work or requires more than one person to work. Hurricane windows, on the other hand, are hassle-free and require no work on your part.

4.) Increased Lighting with UV Protection

In the event of a hurricane, with impact windows, you can rely on having natural light as a resource without compromising your security. Additionally, the glass has greater UV protection, so any light that does come through will not cause fading on your carpeting or furniture.

5.) Noise Reduction

Impact windows are thicker, so you can relax in your home without having to hear the hustle and bustle of the outside world... or any neighbors’ pets.

6.) Intruder Protection

By Gabby Gregory

If 200-mph winds cannot destroy hurricane windows, then burglars stand no chance! Would-be intruders will be disappointed to learn that your home has impact windows because there is little chance that they will be able to break them.

7.) Lower Insurance Rates

Your insurance company will be so excited to learn that you are giving your home the best protection possible that it will likely reduce your rates.

8.) Higher Property Values

Homes with hurricane windows have higher property values. If you ever sell your house in the future, you will attract buyers who are willing to pay more for the added protection.

9.) Made in the U.S.A.

Hurricane windows from Max Guard are crafted entirely in the United States of America. When you choose Max Guard impact windows, you are supporting the American workforce and economy!
