January 16, 2012 Market Outlook Letter: "While the last few years have been highlighted with record swings in market returns and widely oscillating economic data, we expect 2012 will be less about the fringes and more about the middle. While volatility is likely to remain elevated, the market and its economic backdrop may begin to migrate from the extremes — oftentimes even polarized extremes — toward a more normalized period where investor sentiment, economic activity and the market’s direction start to move increasingly in alignment. While moving away from the drastic extremes will be a welcome environment for whipsawed investors, the center offers its own distinct challenges and opportunities. The key hurdle for the market in 2012 will be finding the right balance. Recently we have experienced a market of extremes. In 2012, finding a middle ground, or Meeting in the Middle, is going to be key for growth in the markets and economy. Consumer sentiment, business leaders, policymakers and geopolitics are going to have significant impact on the investment environment. The attached 2012 Outlook Booklet. It will both provide a comprehensive perspective on the economy and markets and the many factors that will influence them in 2012. If you any questions on any aspect of the report, please call our office to speak with Heather or myself." Sincerely, David M.
