Planning around optimism

I saw that optimism for stocks has been the highest since 2022. That’s obviously a good thing as the sentiment continues to trend upwards the last few months. We may finally be putting the COVID and ZIRP issues behind us as inflation seems to be stagnating.

Unfortunately, it’s the market and anything can happen. We’re staying cautiously optimistic and hoping that things work out, but also planning for the worst case scenario. We’ve learned from our mistakes in the past and know that most parts of our business should operate as if the worst case scenario happens.

We’ll continue to invest in our people and growing as needed, but we’re going to be very cautious going forward. We have a great thing going right now with the current team that we have, and we do not want to get ahead of our skis.
