Don’t Let Government Debt or Dollar Fears Derail Your Investment Strategy

    Discussed by:
    Jack Bowers
    Editor, Fidelity Monitor

Too many investors are avoiding the U.S. stock market for the wrong reasons. While government debt, dollar weakness, and a sluggish U.S. economy are certainly important factors to consider, Jack Bowers will explain his position that their long-term impact on corporate earnings and domestic stock values is less than most investors realize. Jack remains steadfastly bullish despite widespread pessimism among individual investors. As the primary reason for his bullish outlook, Jack cites the fact that the U.S. is becoming a powerhouse exporter, which he feels should have a very positive impact on corporate earnings, regardless of what happens to our economy at home. In addition to sharing his economic views, Jack will review performance data for Fidelity mutual funds, to track and review your Fidelity holdings as appear in his popular newsletter, Fidelity Monitor.
