How Should You Invest Amidst An Exploding Middle East?

on Feb 28, 2011 in Fox Business, Media Center by Ed Butowsky | No Comments »

Ed Butowsky, Managing Partner at Chapwood Capital Investment Management LLC, joins Varney & Co. on Fox Business News to discuss strategies for protecting your portfolio during political instability in the Middle-East.

With the current unrest in the Middle-East and rising oil prices, there has been a lot of concern among investors about the impact that oil prices will have on their portfolio value.

Stocks are valued based on expected earnings, and tend to move up 6 to 9 months ahead of earnings. When we see a shock to the system like we’re currently experiencing with oil prices, corporate earnings will take a hit. From an economic standpoint, some companies’ earnings will be hurt more than others. Sectors reliant on or affiliated with transportation, for example, can expect to experience a larger negative impact.

I am forecasting stock prices to come down slightly; however, I am not recommending that my clients sell stocks. When the alternative is fixed income, which is going to pay less than one-percent, consider just staying the course.
