Market Flash April 6, 2025

The Futures Markets are currently indicating a decline of 1500 points on the Dow Jones Industrial Average for Monday morning.

This is in line with our Affinity Capital Market Flash from this past Friday: Affinity Capital Market Flash April 4, 2025 

Our portfolios average 25% in cash and 40% in fixed income related securities, (bonds) which are the right places to be right now. The remaining 35% in equities will still face a rocky road ahead although many are stocks or funds that we may have a partial position and intend to add to as the markets weaken. Many of our other positions are good quality, long-standing positions with favorable gains that give us some room to further evaluate the depth of this downturn.

We have weathered world wars, oil embargoes, terrorist attacks, a financial crisis and a pandemic and the markets have always recovered. We believe we are well positioned both for the short term and as long-term investors.

As always, please feel free to reach out with your questions and concerns. We appreciate the opportunity to serve you.
