What Happened?
Back to Work, Kinda… From November’s  2010 US jobless rate according to USBLS 9.2% As of March 2011 the same governmental organization reports 8.8% So What? Unemployment as lagging indicator Q1 vs. Q2  Earnings season early 2011 Foreign debt issues remain Source: US Bureau of Labor Statistics
Markets in 2011 (Source: Morningstar as of 7/21/11) US STOCKS: YTD & 1-Year DJIA, 10.11%  and 26.18% S&P 500, 6.54%  and 24.83% S&P 400, 8.81% and 33.87% Russell 2000, 6.88% and 34.95% International: EAFE, 3.05% and 21.85% EM, -1.27% and 19.2% BONDS:  Core Bond, 3.53% and 4.03% Intermediate Corporate Bond, 5.00% and 7.09% TIPS, 7.47% and 10.72%
What Are We Watching?
Europe Again… Situation:  Renewed concerns over 2010 debt crisis focal points (Greece, Ireland, Spain), especially Greece.   Complication:  Increased political strife reduces markets belief that deal is certain after concerns from Germany become public and there is potential expansion as Italy is identified as having solvency concerns. Result:  Anticipated summer sell-off becomes a bit steeper and sooner (May) than initially expected. July 21, France and German deal reported. Retirement Solution Group
Why Debt Ceiling Matters, A Lot! Situation:  US government spends more than it collects in revenue (taxes) by approximately a 40% margin (source: WSJ). On August 2nd it is estimated with an increase by Congress the US will exceed its debt ceilings and not be able to cover its bills. Complication:  Politicians. Result:  38 of 40 economists in a recent survey by Reuters said they believed a deal would be done by 8/2.  But, many are concerned that to make a deal it becomes significantly watered down and thus long-term insignificant. Retirement Solution Group
Impact of Debt (source: USBLS) Retirement Solution Group
What is result US Markets: It is a time where many feel down, think we could go way down, are generally very concerned, and they actually are making money. Debt ceiling is THE issue  Earnings vs. macro economics International Markets:  Prior to Q1 unrest, overseas markets were key drivers to global recovery.  Especially in emerging markets.  So what’s next? Focus is on Europe risk Lack of focus on emerging markets return potential Bonds: Remain sluggish but cause for much new discussion as we have seen change in demand, interest rate environment and risk measurements. QE2 ends 6/30/11 Bernanke has suggested a QE3 as an option Retirement Solution Group
So What? Fall 2011 investment due diligence  Avoid loans, withdrawals and deferral reductions Save more …

  • 9. What Are We Watching?
  • 10. Europe Again… Situation: Renewed concerns over 2010 debt crisis focal points (Greece, Ireland, Spain), especially Greece. Complication: Increased political strife reduces markets belief that deal is certain after concerns from Germany become public and there is potential expansion as Italy is identified as having solvency concerns. Result: Anticipated summer sell-off becomes a bit steeper and sooner (May) than initially expected. July 21, France and German deal reported. Retirement Solution Group
  • 11. Why Debt Ceiling Matters, A Lot! Situation: US government spends more than it collects in revenue (taxes) by approximately a 40% margin (source: WSJ). On August 2nd it is estimated with an increase by Congress the US will exceed its debt ceilings and not be able to cover its bills. Complication: Politicians. Result: 38 of 40 economists in a recent survey by Reuters said they believed a deal would be done by 8/2. But, many are concerned that to make a deal it becomes significantly watered down and thus long-term insignificant. Retirement Solution Group
  • 12. Impact of Debt (source: USBLS) Retirement Solution Group
  • 13. What is result US Markets: It is a time where many feel down, think we could go way down, are generally very concerned, and they actually are making money. Debt ceiling is THE issue Earnings vs. macro economics International Markets: Prior to Q1 unrest, overseas markets were key drivers to global recovery. Especially in emerging markets. So what’s next? Focus is on Europe risk Lack of focus on emerging markets return potential Bonds: Remain sluggish but cause for much new discussion as we have seen change in demand, interest rate environment and risk measurements. QE2 ends 6/30/11 Bernanke has suggested a QE3 as an option Retirement Solution Group
