Weekly Client Letter – December 30, 2024

Wall Street “experts” predict the market’s direction every year – and for the last five years in a row, they’ve been wrong. The chart makes it clear: the only consistent thing about these predictions is how inaccurate they are. Even with endless data and resources, forecasting the market’s future remains unreliable.

That’s why at Redwood, we don’t gamble on predictions – we focus on managing risk through our RiskFirst® approach. By staying prepared rather than guessing, we aim to protect and grow your wealth no matter what the market does.

Wishing you a Happy, Healthy, and Prosperous New Year ahead!

Wrong Again…
