However, finding reliable sources of referrals can sometimes be challenging for advisors: Centers of Influence (COIs) like accountants and attorneys may not be as attuned to the advisor's services as the advisor's clie

Bloomberg had a fun article looking at whether the boom in hedge fund trades and ETFs that short volatility one way or another might cause some sort of negative stock market event. There have been volatility events before. The 1987 crash was partly attributed to selling portfolio insurance and there was the so called Volmageddon of 2018. The former was about selling index futures and the latter was about shorting the VIX.

The Bull Keeps Going We sound like a broken record, but that could be a good thing in a bull market, as stocks made more new highs last week. In the end, the S&P 500 closed marginally lower for the week after a late Friday afternoon sell-off. But stocks have been up 16 out of the last 19 weeks, rising more than 24% during that rally. In the history of the S&P 500, stocks have never risen that quickly with such consistent weekly gains.

A securities-backed line of credit is like a home equity line of credit in many ways, though with this type of loan, the collateral is your investment account, not a home. A securities-backed line of credit (SBLOC) allows investors to get cash by borrowing against their investable assets versus liquidating their portfolio. Although it may not be a good long-term strategy for most investors, it can be a compelling short-term solution while awaiting liquidity from selling your current house.
