Today is Going to be a Rough Day.

​Premarket trading hit the circuit breakers, meaning that stocks were already down 5%, just minutes after the Federal Reserve Board concluded an emergency meeting and published their actions. The FOMC cut interest rates to zero on Sunday, March 15, 2020 at 5 p.m. ET, and took a number of steps to provide liquidity to the global and domestic credit markets. The chatter from all of my friends on Wall Street was alarming overnight, as texts flew back and forth past midnight, and again as early as 4 am this morning.

As you know, I’ve been warning about this for a while. And I also warned you that if you waited for the headlines, it would be too late to protect yourself.
 
The global economic squeeze that we are currently experiencing was triggered by the coronavirus. However, it is amplified by the asset bubbles and leverage. 

 

Things are far from over. It is still a very good idea to adopt the Nest Egg Pie Chart® and Thrive Budget® strategies. See below for a few tips on how to do this.
 
Teleconferences. Yes, we will have a teleconference or video conference this week. It will either be on Tuesday or Thursday. I will keep you posted on this blog. So just come back to NataliePace.com/blog frequently over the next 24 hours for updates. I will not be emailing you with each update. However, I will be providing ongoing information in this blog and on my page in the Twitter feed. 
 
What should you do? Panic is not a plan. Market timing doesn’t work. Buy and Hope is a last century strategy that doesn’t work in the 21st Century. You can access Web Apps to personalize your own sample Nest Egg Pie Chart® and Thrive Budget® by going to the home page at Natalie Pace.com and clicking on the free Web app badge. Knowing what a time-proven strategy looks like is a very good start.
 ​

If you are having difficulty understanding what you currently own, or how to make what you have look like the sample, then consider getting a 2nd opinion. Call 310-430-2397 or email info@NataliePace.com for pricing and information.

​The nest egg and budget strategies will make more sense if you have read The ABCs of Money. I will be posting the 3rd edition as soon as I can over the next few days. The 2nd edition is pretty up-to-date, as it was published in 2018. However, the 3rd edition will include coronavirus information. The world has changed a lot in two years. 
​
Again, I will have updates. I am here to help you navigate. There are so many people in need of help, who didn’t prepare properly beforehand, that we may need to host a few video conferences/mini retreats. I’ll keep you posted here, in this blog, about those as well.
 
I strongly encourage you to share the free Nest Egg Pie Chart® and Thrive Budget® web apps with your friends.
 
If you are interested in learning more, I have done quite a few blogs over the past few months. Scroll through the list below, and you are likely to find something that you desire to read.



“Riding it out” is not a time-proven plan. Buy and Hold has been losing more than half in the last two corrections. Proper diversification with annual rebalancing protects you from downturns and allows you to profit from bull markets and strength (instead of praying and hoping to gain back the losses you endured by riding it out). In today’s world you have to know what is safe because there are a lot of historically safe products that are vulnerable to capital loss this time around.
 
Consider getting a second opinion on your current plan now. Call 310-430-2397 or email info @ NataliePace.com to learn more.
