2020 has come to a close and as we reflect on the past year, we remember the importance of staying focused on maintaining a long-term perspective. Though the market may have tested us with bouts of volatility the past 12 months, investors continue to look ahead to the future. 

As we navigate a new year with new challenges and opportunities, there will be some key trends and market signals that will be important to watch for. LPL Financial's research team has released its
Outlook 2021: Powering Forward, which consists of financial market forecasts, economic insights and investment guidance for the year ahead.

 Goodbye Mollie
If you've called or visited our office over the past few years, you've likely interacted with Mollie Flynn, our former Office Coordinator. Mollie has decided to relocate to Raleigh, NC in the coming months to be closer to family. 

A note from Mollie:

Choosing to move on from Saratoga Financial Services was an extremely difficult decision to make. Though I'm looking forward to starting an exciting new chapter of my life closer to family, I cannot express my gratitude enough for the wonderful clients and counterparts I've had the opportunity to work with the past seven years. You will all be missed - and if you ever find yourself in NC, please reach out and say hello!
