Beyond Bulls and Bears Blog
“Bear markets have always been temporary. And so have bull markets.” — Sir John Templeton
Markets are always changing. Positive news one day can lift market spirits and send prices soaring – but negative news the next day can dampen spirits, causing prices to sink. It’s the same old battle between bulls and bears many investors already know. At Beyond Bulls & Bears our mission is not to bring you the latest hot stock tip or bit of Wall Street gossip. It’s to share the on-the-ground, long-term perspectives of investment professionals adept at navigating the increasingly complex world of global investing.
We tap into the research and insights of more than 600 Franklin Templeton investment professionals around the world, providing our clients with access to global opportunities that others might miss. Our Beyond Bulls & Bears blog is a great way to get the latest perspectives from our investment teams - it's where we share with you what we're thinking when we're thinking it. Each week we track down our portfolio managers from around the world to get their on-the-ground thoughts and observations to events as they happen in financial markets.
Additionally, all articles are investor friendly so a great resource of information on macroeconomic topics and market movements that you can also share with your clients.
