The market is up a little more than 15% to date, for a very healthy start to the year. Friday's action, not surprisingly, was a little sloppy for the end of the quarter. Today is the first day of the second half of the year. Typically, a positive first half of the year is followed by a positive second half. But that doesn't mean the market keeps going higher indefinitely. We were here at this time last year, after which we got that 10% correction in July/August. So just because the year ends on a positive note does not mean you cannot have a correction during the interim. August, September, and October tend to be weaker in election years.   Hosted by RIA Chief Investment Strategist, Lance Roberts, CIO  Produced by Brent Clanton, Executive Producer ------- Watch the video version of this podcast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ks5GW3xJgtg&list=PLwNgo56zE4RAbkqxgdj-8GOvjZTp9_Zlz&index=2  ------- Get more info & commentary:  https://realinvestmentadvice.com/insights/real-investment-daily/ ------- Visit our Site: https://www.realinvestmentadvice.com Contact Us: 1-855-RIA-PLAN -------- Subscribe to SimpleVisor: https://www.simplevisor.com/register-new -------- Connect with us on social: https://twitter.com/RealInvAdvice https://twitter.com/LanceRoberts https://www.facebook.com/RealInvestmentAdvice/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/realinvestmentadvice/ #MarketCorrection #InvestorPatience #PortfolioRisk #RiskManagement #StockSplit #MarketCorrection #MarketConsolidation #ExtremeDeviation #NarrowBreadth #20DMA #50DMA #200DMA #RSP #SP500 #InvestingAdvice #Money #Investing
