subject: Tim Phillips, Portland CEO on the Current Investment Climate [print this page] The CEO of Phillips and Company, Tim Phillips (Portland based investment firm) has cited a firm belief in staying the course in the current investment climate despite what appears to be grim investment opportunities that are riding the tide of the current global economic climate. 2010 has seen the economic crisis continue from the previous year and the second quarter of the year has been quoted as the worst second quarter in decades. However, Tim Phillips Portland based firm does not see this resulting in a recession that is on par with the great depression. In fact, holding onto your money is not likely to benefit you or reduce the impact that the current economic climate has on your business or living expenses. Tim Phillips Portland based firm is trying to get investors to keep investing.
In fact, investing now while we are hopefully approaching the end of the recession can actually benefit investors in the long term. Tim Phillips Portland based firm has also looked to past recessions to develop an idea that commodity inflation and inflation as a whole impacting the stock market can in fact be responsible for poor stock market returns in the current economic climate. Tim Phillips Portland based firm believes that investment opportunities that are presently stagnant include stocks, bonds and real estate. However, as we start to come out of the current recession we will see a surge of growth in the investment value of these resources and it may still be advantageous for the investor to get in on the action while prices are quite stagnant.
A hot tip offered by Tim Phillips Portland based firm is to look at investing in Materials and Consumer Discretionary commodities. Tim Phillips Portland based firm goes on to say that the past has indicated that these forms of investments are likely to give a positive return during times of rising inflation. Tim Phillips Portland based firm believes in the strength of these companies to be able to increase their prices and still be viable options for consumers Tim Phillips Portland Based firm further states that this in turn leads to an excellent investment opportunity for investors because the company is able to recuperate costs and turn a profit regardless of the current rate of inflation.
Tim Phillips Portland based firm actually suggests that now is not the right time to pull out of the investment market rather it is a time to reevaluate your investment options in order to best combat the financial fatigue that is felt by other investment opportunities which are just not accumulating value. Try and reduce your dependence on equity markets and move into more stable or blue chip orientated investments. Tim Phillips Portland based firm also suggests that you try and gauge trends through a good knowledge of the averages at play in regards to previous recessionary cycles, equity market trends and specific market triggers which have led to the resultant strengthening of a recession affected market. As one door has closed another may have just opened know which door this is likely to be.
