As always, I appreciate your confidence and trust in me, and I am here to assist you with any questions or concerns you might have about your investments. Please contact me by using the telephone number or email address above if you would like to discuss your account or schedule an appointment.
Over the last 50 years, the S&P 500 has fluctuated on average between 0.7% and 1.00% daily. The index has fallen more than 1.00% on average about once every 9 trading days. With the S&P 500 at 6,765.88 a 1.00% drop would be about 68 points. With the Dow Jones Industrial Average’s close at 47,112.45 on November 25th, the 664.18 point increase looked rather large, but it was only a 1.43% increase. The key takeaway is, with increasing index levels daily point swings will continue to be larger in the future.
As in the past, you may receive a Client Account Update Form from my office in the mail sometime in 2026. The form is needed to update your contact and other required information. If you are scheduled to receive a Client Update Form, it will be in a separate mailing. Please make any necessary adjustments on the form and return it in the stamped envelope which will be provided.
Rebalancing and the diversification of accounts is a continuing process which has been successful and very well received. If you wish to opt out of the rebalancing and diversification program, or if you need to provide updated information, please contact me by using the telephone number or email address listed in the heading of this Holiday Greeting. There is also a Contact Us Form on the Jersey Benefits website.
If you have any questions or concerns about your accounts, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with me. End of the year consolidated statements and the Winter Newsletter will be coming in early January 2026. Referrals are always welcome!
