Money and Finance
Another week and another month is in the books and now we're on to May. With the markets going everywhere and nowhere during the month and May now upon us, the usual chatter of "sell in May and go away" is coming up. Personally I'm looking forward to the markets retreating some to allow us all to invest in great companies at better valuations. There's definitely some headwinds for the markets since it's been a somewhat disappointing earnings season with a lot of companies beating on earnings but missing on revenues. To me that signals better cost control and cost cutting rather than solid core fundamental growth. But all we can do is invest capital at whatever we feel are good valuations. I try to stay away from building too large of a cash position because I haven't found a way to time the market and no one else has either. A lot of people were calling for a big decline all throughout 2013, but we ended up with about 30% gains across the market.
