Based on our January 2020 survey Strong Valley has switched from a monthly newsletter to quarterly updates. This first quarterly update, like most of our lives, has been influenced and impacted by the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. In this update, we are offering a message of hope as we look forward to life after COVID-19. We have also provided some additional information and updates regarding the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act which also provides some comparison to the stimulus package from the 2008 financial crisis. There is also a video ('The Coronavirus Contraction') that compares the financial impact of the coronavirus with a similar event in 1957-1958.
These are certainly challenging times but thank you as always to our clients. We are walking through this with you, and for you, and we believe that regardless of the challenge, we are better when we face them together. Thank you so much for being the best part of the Strong Valley experience!
Thank you to all of those who participated in our January 2020 survey. Based on your feedback we have switched to a Quarterly newsletter, but plan to continue sending direct client updates as needed. We are also working through the necessary compliance and technical steps to provide even more information and resources through our website. Our hope is to provide more timely and direct access to the information we publish and have curated from around the Internet.
Our first quarterly newsletter in April 2020 is largely shaped by the Coronavirus (COVID-19) which had undeniably had a major impact on the economy, not to mention our daily social and professional lives. Strong Valley is actively working with clients and striving to provide as much information as possible during these fluid times. Beyond the financial and technical information, we hope that each person, family, and business will find encouragement and hope as we look to putting the pandemic behind us.
As always, please continue to reach out to your Strong Valley advisor with any questions or concerns. We also want our newsletters, website, and communications to provide value, so thank you to those who have made suggestions about the type of content you would like to see. Please continue to provide feedback on how we can best serve you during these times and in the future.
