Though the U.S. financial markets continue their volatile trends, Bay area Certified Financial Planner? Kelly Crane has a hopeful note for local investors: ?It is possible to protect your investments, even generate income, in a volatile market and economy.?
Crane, of http://www.NapaValleyWealthManagement.com, expects the financial markets to continue their volatility for some time?for one primary reason: algorithm-based trading. Crane explained, ?Only in the last few years have algorithms been developed and implemented into trading systems. Today most trading houses, hedge funds, and even self-investing individuals, utilize software with automatic, computerized buy and hold triggers.?
Crane thinks these popular trading programs are a factor in the increased market volatility. He stated, ?A few years ago only one million shares per day were traded; today it?s not unlikely to see one million per company, per day traded. Higher trading volume equals increased volatility.?
Crane asserts, ?Given this market, it is not enough to allocate resources?the investor must also allocate risk. The best approach is through personal, customized financial planning, which can?t be achieved by automated programs.?
Crane, founder and Chief Investment Officer of Napa Valley Wealth Management, is hosting a series of complimentary seminars titled, ?How to Manage Market Volatility: Building & Preserving Your Wealth in Today?s Economic Climate?, to help affluent investors overcome emotional-investing behaviors and develop long-term plans that incorporate risk into their asset management.
