Market & Economic Summary

  

Dightman Capital believes one of the key to success in today's environment is to remove entrenched investment biases and implement an adaptive investment process and execution ability. 

The following is our opinion of near-term market and economic conditions.

SPRING 2012

GLOBAL INVESTMENTS
After a very strong rally in Q1, which was a continuation from Q4 2011, stocks have come under selling pressure.  A normal market correction should be expected but investors may want to be on guard for a more sustained market decline given the fragile nature of the current environment. 

WORLD ECONOMY
The Data coming out on the global economy still poses serious challenges.   The debt crisis in Europe could eventually pose liquidity challenges.  Unemployment in the U.S. remains elevated but appears to be improving somewhat.

INFLATION DATA
We believe broad inflation will remain stable for goods and services measured by the Consumer Price Index.  There are risks of elevated prices in select categories like education, healthcare and energy.  Despite current U.S. monetary policy, inflation is likely to be held in check until National Income and Capacity Utilization have increased.  As developed country economies continue to reduce debt levels, deflation in stocks, real estate and commodities may continue.

U.S. RESIDENTIAL HOUSING
It appears housing may be stabilizing in some markets but price recovery may be slow. 

PLANNING
New conversion rules for ROTH IRAs allow high income households an opportunity to fund this unique tax treatment retirement account.
