It’s Sunday, which means...It’s recap time!

The theme for this week was: stock market cycles...explained. If you’re an investing novice, like the vast majority of Americans, the stock market and it’s wild gyrations can seem intimidating and confusing. But what if I told you that the cycles of the stock market are actually more regular than you think, and hence more predictable.

When you better understand how stock market cycles work, it becomes easier to decipher where we are in the current cycle and potentially profit from it by making smarter decisions with your money.

Hopefully after listening to the tips this week, you realize that stock market cycles are not random, but relatively predictable, and that, as billionaire investor, Howard Marks said: “the key to mastering the market cycle is understanding where it is today.”

Here’s what we covered this week:

• What happened on March 6, 2009
• The predictable stock market cycle
• Understanding the market cycle we’re currently in
• How long market cycles last,
• And some further reading from billionaire investor, Howard Marks if you’re interested in going deeper in this topic

Tomorrow, come on back, because we’re starting a brand new theme: Keeping yourself (and your wallet!) secure online. Hackers are becoming more and more sophisticated, but there are several things you can do to protect yourself online. I’ll talk about 3 simple, yet vitally important steps you can take to prevent identity theft, fraud, and cybersecurity attacks.

That’s it for this week! Thanks for listening.

My name is Ashley Micciche and this is the “One Minute Retirement Tip”.
