October 2023 marks the 50th anniversary of one of the most tumultuous months in American history. Do you recall the events of October 1973?
• Oct. 6, 1973 – On Yom Kippur, the most sacred day in the Jewish calendar, Arab states led by Egypt and Syria and supported by the Soviet Union launched an all-out war to exterminate Israel. This developed into the proxy war between the U.S. and the Soviet Union.
• Oct. 25 – America awoke to the news that during the previous night, the U.S. military and its nuclear forces had been placed on a global alert level of DEFCON 3, signaling the Soviet Union that they best not escalate matters further in the Middle East. In the short run, market prices are influenced by investor emotion and human nature. Over the last 100 years, single-year fluctuations have ranged from a 54% gain to a 43% loss. Humans see this statistic and respond in one of two ways: Either they get sick from the roller coaster of volatility and sell everything to make it stop, or think they can outsmart the market by timing their investments. Neither approach proves successful long term.
So here we are in 2023, 50 years after that fateful month. We find ourselves in an eerily familiar position. Inflation is rampant, energy prices are rising, turmoil in the Middle East, and politicians embroiled in trials. History may not repeat itself, but it sure rhymes with the past. How are you reacting to today’s events?
