The bull market that began in mid-2009 may be over. According to a Bloomberg article posted earlier today, the stock markets closed at a 14-month low as a result of continued uncertainty over economic conditions, possible interest rate increases, and international trade policy. The S&P 500 is down nearly 5% this year. The current market volatility is usually indicative of an impending decline. Investors should check their holdings and talk to their financial advisors about whether changes in their portfolios are warranted. According to Alan Greenspan, former Federal Reserve Chairman, investors should prepare for the worst.
