Three Charts That Have Our Attention

If you are curious about what’s going on in the market or economy, we’d like to share some charts / graphics that we think are insightful.

Bouncing Back. Market corrections (declines of 10% to 20%) are a regular part of investing history. On average, the market drops 14% during these periods. Despite the sharp downturns, the average recovery takes just four months, highlighting how quickly markets can rebound once they bottom out. Trying to time the market during a correction can mean missing out on the rapid upside that typically follows. The data suggests that patience is often rewarded.

YTD Market Performance. So far in 2025, International and European stocks are outperforming U.S. stocks by a significant margin. It’s a reminder that diversification across global markets isn’t just a textbook concept- it plays a real role in reducing risk and capturing returns when U.S. markets lag. Relying solely on domestic equities can expose investors to unnecessary concentration risk.

​
​Workforce Shift. The U.S. isn’t deindustrializing—it’s evolving. The future of American industry is more tech-focused, defense-oriented, and service-integrated than ever before, and workforce planning needs to keep pace.
