Argent Quarterly Investment Commentary – June 2014
“When I hear TV commentators glibly opine on what the market will be next, I am reminded of Mickey Mantle’s scathing comment, ‘You don’t know how easy the game is until you get into the broadcasting booth.’ ” – Warren Buffet
Almost all U.S. equity investment categories had a solid second quarter in 2014, and are now nicely positive at the half-way point in the year. Goldilocks must be very pleased; nothing is too hot, nothing is too cold.
