Each month we do our best to provide readers with quality information and detail, but we also understand that it can be a dry topic, so we put effort into including some of the interesting, perhaps more “tongue-in-cheek” statistics we come across (in this case from “The Economist”).

Witch-doctoring aside, we hope you take the time to continue reading, as we do work hard to deliver a commentary grounded in strong financial and economic data in addition to the occasional bit of fun “statistical trivia.”

For the time being, though, the key is to look at how our firm’s philosophy has been at play in this environment: current investor sentiment seems to be moving to areas where we have been seeing value all along. Diversification and cash flow are still the best course of action in this volatile investment market.
