Third quarter GDP growth came in at 5.0%. This was well above expected growth of 3.0%.
Positive contributions for third quarter real GDP came from personal consumption expenditures (3.2%), exports (4.5%), nonresidential fixed investment (8.9%), and spending from federal, state, and local governments.
Many economists have revised their 2015 GDP growth forecasts to 3%.

Lessons from the Financial Crisis
The Great Financial Crisis might be this
generation’s Great Depression.
Panicking is not a strategy.
One of the few things you can count on
with near certainty — markets are
cyclical.
Envy might be an investor’s worst enemy.
The herd usually piles in at the wrong time.
Understand your sources of financial advice.
Main street is different from Wall Street.
Pessimism is easier to buy into than optimism.
It’s OK to be wrong, just don’t stay wrong.
Investing is hard
Planning can make all the difference

risks including greater economic, political, and currency fluctuation risks, which may be even greater in emerging markets.

Let’s Do a Pre-Mortem
• What will I do and how will I feel if stocks reverse from
these levels and fall 10%, 20% or 30%?
• What will I do and how will I feel if stocks continue to rise
another 10%, 20% or 30%?
• How much money am I willing to lose in my portfolio
before I become uncomfortable and act irrationally?
The Pre-Mortem
• How will I react if my future portfolio performance is
lower than expected?
• How will I react if my future portfolio performance is
higher than expected?
• Does my investment plan take into account the fact that I
will be wrong from time to time?
