Weekly Market Recap Minutes from September's Federal Reserve (Fed) meeting from last month suggested that the Fed saw the US economy on track with the consumer a source of strength, making a rate increase in the next few months a possibility. Internationally, the British pound weakened as Brexit plans became firmer. The price of oil moved above $50 on potential production cuts. This lifted the price of oil above the lower range it has traded in for most of 2016. Recent months have been relatively stable and positive for most global markets. Nonetheless, there is value in having a long-term perspective for your stock investments. Stock markets have historically been more reliable over the long-run than the short-term. For example, on a day-to-day basis whether the markets go up or down has historically been little better than a coin toss. However, when viewed historically over decades, stock markets have been more consistent in delivering positive returns. Disclaimer:
