WORDHOUSE WEALTH COACHING

10/14/2008

Dear Clients,

We are so happy with our clients! You understand the importance of staying in the market and buying low (very low) and are ready to capture any gains in the market. Wordhouse Clients have continued to deposit a steady stream of new money toward stock which is on sale now! Seeing the opportunity is the first step! Nice work!

Consider this: Many have made the statement that we have never seen anything like this market before, that this time is different. In fact that is true, but during the two years 1973 and 1974 the market went down to –14.67% and -26.46%. We had not seen anything like that either, that market reaction was new then too. In 1975 the market went up +37.21%; 1976 +23.85%; 1977 +30.58%, and 1979 +31.84%, you get the idea. The results: the agony that investors experienced back in 1973 and 1974 were forgotten.

In 1987 the market crashed -33.50% in 3 months! It latter recouped to make +7.52% that year, +44.77% the next year, and the good years continued! No one had ever seen a crash like that in the market either, it was unique. Our point is, we might be experiencing something new but the markets have always corrected themselves and have risen back to the occasion.

The lesson America is learning right now is a good one. We are trimming the fat from companies; they are becoming more efficient by retuning their products to be more relevant to the changing times.

Remember if you are not buying up stocks at this low price somebody else is. Who are they? Let it be the American people. Please challenge yourself to stay away from the hype or see it for what it truly is; selling fear and air time!

Please look at the long term benefits of the market and being in equities / stock. You are in a wonderfully diversified portfolio geared for these times.

Best Regards,

Phyllis J. Wordhouse and Maria J. Kuitula
