It has come to our attention that the formatting of the Altus Insight is not compatible with certain email servers so those of you with those incompatible email servers have had to put up with some difficult reading. We are working with our tech team to get the issue figured out and corrected. We apologize for the inconvenience. In the meantime, if you have one of those mail servers it may be easier to read this and future articles on our website at www.altusequity.com

The reaction to last month’s article regarding the stock market was considerably more muted than expected. Usually there are always people who will come to the stock market’s defense anytime someone has anything negative to say. Maybe more surprising was that I didn’t get the question that I expected to receive from the article, “If the stock market is not currently a good investment, how about real estate?” It is a valid question and barring any major economic events that bear discussion, I will endeavor to answer that question in the July Insight.

During the standard review process of each month’s Altus Insight the article I wrote this month was deemed to deal with a topic that could possibly be considered more controversial than some team members felt appropriate. Without time to write a new article we will skip content this month and be back at it next month. Anyone that would like to read the original article can email me directly at fjinks@altusequity.com.

Happy Investing.
