The market’s up nearly 1,000 points this week!

“Rick, I’m a freakin’ Financial Zen MASTER! 
I don’t care what the market’s done this week or even this year. 
And YOU taught me that. What gives?”…

…I hear you thinking.

You’re right. We Financial Zen Masters DON’T pay attention to short-term market movements.

However, with sooo much news negativity this year, I figured I’d try to counterbalance it with the wins.

So yeah, it’s been a good start to the second half of the year. 

Not only that, but the sentiment seems to be turning with the talking heads on CNBC.  

I’m hearing more chatter about the market bottoming and how a lot of them are putting money to work again.  

As you know, we never make moves by gazing into a crystal ball, so analyst sentiment doesn’t change our strategy at all

But hopefully it’s a small oasis from the sea of negativity we’re currently surrounded by.  

And while I can’t tell you if this is in fact the turning point, what I CAN tell you with certainty is this too, shall pass
