Stocks Too Expensive? There Are Other (Less Risky) Investing Options.
It is no secret, stocks are expensive. In fact we've been stating that for well over a year. They got a little cheaper after Brexit, so we bought a little bit, but once again at record highs, this is not the place to be buying just because (it appears that) everyone else is.
But those who would decry our more defensive strategy suggest that we are therefore missing out on the latest rally.
That is just not the case. In fact we are out-performing the benchmark and taking significantly less risk in doing so (reducing our clients exposure to the vulnerability of the stock market).

Looking forward to seeing Vancouver clients this week!
