It\'s a question of growth
Published on 7th October, 2011 at 09:10 by Eric Mowinski B.Sc.
Continued volatility in equity markets with no reassurance of the austerity plans.
You would think after the steep falls in equities during August, there would be an opportunity for some respite in September but not a bit of it.
The volatility has continued with an emphasis on the down trend.
There are two parts to the austerity plan; the first is you cut back on public services and raise taxes and the second is to grow your way out of debt. The problem is now the cutbacks have been made, there is little economic growth on the horizon. Slow growth and higher prices is not a good recipe for equity markets.
For aggressive investors, the current fall in prices may create short term opportunities. For cautious investors, cash remains king.
