Happy Holidays from Joseph Stango

Reprinted with permission

With both computer and wi-fi issues these past two weeks I was unable to send “my take” to you. Thankfully, all of my equipment has been updated and am ready to “go” again. That said I have taken this week as a holiday week for myself as I do not expect any issues that may concern the markets. I believe this week will be eventful in that President Trump has signed the relief bill into law which is helping the market today. However, this being the final week of 2020 we may continue to see some selling as both individual investors and money managers lock in their profits and losses in anticipation of the tax season which begins next week.

The next “my take,” which I will send next week , I will share with you my thoughts for the coming year. As well, despite my vacation week which allows me to prepare, administratively, for the new year I will be on the radio today at 10:20 AM on WATR’s Talk of the Town with host Steve Noxon to discuss the year in review and offer some insights as to what companies are doing to prepare for a new Covid year. Additionally, I will be on the air each morning at 7:55 AM with Host Tom Chute to provide my usual morning update. If you would like to listen in, please click on this link: www.WATR.com.

This has been a challenging time for all of us but as we near the end of this historic year I continue to reflect on the clients and friends that I have lost this year due to Covid and other health issues. While I am saddened to lose old friends, I give thanks every day for having the privilege of knowing them all of these years and for the friendship they had shown me.

I’d like to take a moment to say “Thank You” for your continued trust and friendship. I know it was a nerve racking year for you and I hope I was able to bring you a modicum of relief from the craziness that ensued.

I wish you continued health and happiness in this coming year.


Sincerest Regards,

Joe
