Welcome to another episode of The Planning for Retirement Podcast. I'm your host, Kevin Lao!


2020-2023 brought about legitimate market volatility, the first we've experienced since The Great Recession of 2008. I thought I would share some common mistakes I've personally seen retirees make over the last few years to highlight the importance of having a disciplined, unemotional, repeatable, investment process.


I'll also highlight some of the key metrics we are watching in 2024 and how we are currently managing risk in portfolios.


Here are some of the links I referenced in the show:


- Follow me on Facebook (I posted both the Consumer Confidence and the Periodic Table of Returns charts on my Facebook page because they weren't linking properly in the show notes).

- Follow me on LinkedIn

- Economic Trends in Equity Markets

- What do the markets do after rate cuts are over?

- What do the markets do when there is a Presidential election?
