As investors, staying grounded and focused is critical as we look for high-quality companies that are innovative and strategic, and whose products and services are highly sought after by their customers. Of course, the most important news is that global economic activity is rebounding after a surreal year. We recognize that challenges remain, including inflation concerns, potential tax changes, and lofty valuations in certain assets. However, the healthy earnings of the companies our clients own underpin our focus on staying invested and navigating each of these obstacles as more information comes to light.
Ali Phillips, Executive Vice President and Partner, was a recent guest on the Selling The Mountains podcast hosted by Christian Knapp. The podcast series focuses on the booming mountain town real estate economy and the unique personalities fueling it. Each episode is an insider’s perspective on market trends, lifestyle, success stories, and the business of buying and selling property in the mountains.
Last spring, we wrote about reasons for hope in a sick economy. We talked about the medical advances that were on the horizon, the swift action our policymakers were taking by injecting $2 trillion into the economy, and how we entered the crisis in a position of strength, with all the tools necessary for a quick recovery. A year later, we have multiple vaccines, the economy is swimming in liquidity, and we are beginning to see one of the strongest recoveries in history. While we did not envision all the ways that the pandemic would upend our lives and change our nation, we are encouraged by how the global situation is improving.
