Quotes
“In our model we have factors we call canaries, the canaries in the coal mine, and we are looking very closely at those to see if any of those should start to signal that the market might start to crack in here. So, one thing that we watch closely are credit spreads, and credit spreads…are actually starting to widen out now, not to the extent that it’s a problem yet, but that would be one of the warning signs. So, go ahead and stay invested in the equity markets but understand there are a lot of potholes out there that you need to be aware of and take defensive action.” - Fritz Folts
“I really feel like that is a good approach to investing, think about yourself as an athlete. You’re not going to go win a gold medal, but you need to keep your body in shape, you need to sleep, you need to get nutrition and take it seriously and it will really help you.” - Fritz Folts
