\u2018Tis the month before year-end, the year\u2019s almost done,
\nAnd we eagerly look forward beyond twenty twenty-one.<\/p>\n
Sure, stocks have rallied, and in quite a hurry,
\nAs markets ascended that big wall of worry.<\/p>\n
But bonds have experienced some much worse fates,
\nEspecially those that respond more to interest rates,<\/p>\n
As markets rethink how the big central banks
\nWill react to the higher costs of filling our tanks.<\/p>\n
And more broadly, we all have had to endure
\nAnother year spent fighting back the allure<\/p>\n
Of life more normal than the current routine
\nThat\u2019s once again thanks to that COVID-19.<\/p>\n
But there\u2019s hope on the horizon for the year yet to come
\nWhich will hopefully be filled with less of the ho-hum<\/p>\n
From supply chains and prices and the virus\u2019 genome,
\nAnd new waves of lockdowns that keep us at home.<\/p>\n
Of course, the outlook is not absent of queries and risk
\nand pundits\u2019 voices will again rise as growth proves less brisk<\/p>\n
Than what has been seen through the recovery stage
\n(though it\u2019s a normal progression as the cyclical does age).<\/p>\n
And on China, uncertainty will continue to linger
\nAbout the next sector to go through the wringer.<\/p>\n
The ground \u2018neath US politics will stay far from firm
\nAs partisan cries rise before the midterms.<\/p>\n
And what of inflation? Will it remain itchy and hot?
\nOr will it prove transitory as initially thought?<\/p>\n
Amid all the unknowns that can impact your wealth,
\nIt pays to have someone watching your finances\u2019 health,<\/p>\n
Who can offer sound advice, sometimes who is rhyming,
\nAnd knows that with markets \u201ctime in\u201d matters more than \u201ctiming\u201d.<\/p>\n
