Zilos Capital Issues Short-Term Cautionary Guidance on Stocks as of August 16, 2021

One of the most comical phrases seen in financial literature is:

“Past performance does not indicate future results”.

Even though it’s well-known that statements like this are for nothing more than posterior covering, it’s important to emphasize just how silly this logic is; even though it’s true in a limited context.

In “The Truth Project”, Dr. Del Tackett discusses the Cycle of Nations, illustrating how time and time again, since the first civilizations of the world until now, all great nations have followed a similar cycle of gradual destruction.

To say that all great nations following a similar pattern over thousands and thousands of years is what we call a low-odds bet.

So what’s the point? The point is…

Learning from the past can certainly equip one to better navigate future events.

And if we look at what’s going on right now in the world (and the markets), it doesn’t seem much different than early 2020.

Except this time, there’s an even more dangerous virus at-play, called Marburg, and the current political decisions that have taken place over the last few months aren’t helping anything either – and that’s not even factoring in the planned decisions.

So with all this being said, we’re issuing short-term cautionary guidance on stocks.

Now with this being said, this proclamation of ours should NOT be considered a fear-driven plea to avoid equities, because if there’s one lesson we can extract from the past; it’s that massive opportunities present themselves in crisis.

But what our stance does mean is that we plan to be even more assertive in staying informed and to patiently prospect.

Blessings.
