Taking Advantage of Market Volatility

This volatility is a real problem,said Rob Kapito,President of BlackRock,the world's largest money manager.People are back in cash,but my message is to get invested in the marketplace and try to put all this noise away.There's always noise in the marketplace.Most companies have been buying back stock and paying dividends.I'd like people to think about who benefits from lower oil prices.Discretionary goods are going to see a pop in this.Tech advances are changing the business models of many companies.Think through what's going to change.Look at companies that are innovative and changing their models,and those that are just lagging behind.
You're going to live longer,and you're not going to have saved enough for retirement.You can't invest for the future in the future.The millennials are saving,but we need to get others thinking about it.You can benefit from being a long-term investor in those sectors.*
I think you've put in a low on oil prices,adds Jeff Saut of Raymond James Financial.The oil stocks have been absolutely crushed.If crude oil has bottomed,you're going to see some pretty good action on the way back up.If we've seen a low,you're going to do very well in an energy etf or an energy-centric mutual fund.*
I'm just a little bit concerned about the near-term volatility,said Brian Jacobsen of Wells Fargo Advantage Funds.However,I would view that as a buying opportunity.Any weakness,I'd be buying into the equity front.*
