Join me in this quick video where I uncover the sweet spot for the length of a financial advisor’s blog post! We get this question all the time: What is the perfect blog post length—how many words—for a financial advisor? Google used to have in their algorithm that a longer blog post was better and that 2,300 words was the sweet spot, so you’ve likely heard that metric repeated a lot.

Boom! Well, that was kinda sudden! In the three months or so since we last spoke, the world has become an entirely different place – at least for those of us who keep up with any sort of international, financial or stock market news. The headlines are new, and the problems are of course very real. Russia has started one of the biggest, shittiest wars in a generation – killing untold thousands of people, displacing millions, and halting trillions of dollars of production and trade.

Things were pretty dark on this week's TCAF with Dan McMurtrie. Hopefully that means we're getting closer to the bottom, or at least a bottom. There has been a massive rerating of growth stocks over the last year. When air was coming out of these high-multiple stocks in 2021, it wasn't bleeding over to the rest of the market. Apple hit an all-time high in January while ARKK was in a 45% drawdown.

The most recent BofA Global Fund Manager Survey is pretty gnarly. You have the lowest reading of "managers expecting a stronger economy" since The Great Financial Crisis. The last time average cash balances were this high was after the dotcom bubble burst.

Interest rates are rising, and that’s bad news for homebuyers. The national average rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage is now over 5%. After being in the 2% range for much of the Covid era, buyers are now facing a one-two punch: a red-hot housing market and rapidly rising rates. For some buyers, it may make sense to consider an adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) instead of a fixed loan.
