It is difficult to make portfolio allocation decisions in today’s volatile markets. What asset classes are there out there that are offering high enough potential returns to induce badly bruised investors to part with their severely depleted cash? None of us can predict short term price movements. \r\nWe do know, however, that we are getting tremendous value in today’s credit markets.

History never exactly repeats itself but financial behavior does tend to follow broadly repetitive cycles of excess. Fear and pessimism had taken hold of the markets eighteen years ago. \r\nFear and pessimism are weighing on us again today.

Inflation is becoming an increasing concern to investors. How can one help protect one’s portfolio against this threat?

George Muzinich discusses how investors should adjust to the new economic reality.
