Are you looking to build your business? As small business owners, it is easy to get distracted by the length of our to-do list and lose sight of the important factors that drive our business’ success. It’s also easy to ignore financial reports when we don’t know how to translate the numbers on the report into key insights about the health and value of our business.

Why do people really hire a financial advisor? As a financial professional, I’m sure this question has crossed your mind at least a dozen times. But in order to answer it, you have to look at why people buy any type of product or service. I once heard it said, “People buy aspirin. They don’t buy vitamins.” In other words, people are more concerned about solving their short-term ailments than they are about their long-term well-being.

You can't be bearish on the stock market unless you're bearish on the biggest group of stocks in said market. And it's hard to be bearish when you see the type of numbers they're putting up.

WEEKLY MARKET UPDATE – July 27, 2021. Markets rose this week as PMI data continues its streak of expansionary readings. Economic data was still mostly disappointing for the week, with housing indicators and unemployment claims coming in under expectations. COVID-19 cases have been rising nationally again, with most new cases being attributed to the “Delta” variant, but so far deaths have not been spiking, a new development that likely can be attributed to large swaths of the population hav

I just realized that the last time I wrote a blog post for you was on April 18th, and now it’s late July. That’s an entire quarter of a year that I have let this wonderful, golden field of interesting opportunities and people sit untended.

I ’ve been reviewing a lot more articles about the SRI and ESG investment movements lately than I ever did before, and I think that’s a sign that more people are interested in owning shares of companies that are behaving responsibly—however one might define that.

So this is different. Inflation has never been this high, with bond yields this low. Rates should, in theory, be a way to gauge what market participants think about future inflation.

I have a lot of flaws. Too many to list. Fine, I'll list a few. I'm disorganized. I'm forgetful. I can't plan anything to save my life. I'm messy. I procrastinate. I can go on, but I'll leave it there. If I had to point to one thing that's served me well in life, and it's a short list, it's that I tell the truth. I didn't decide to wake up today and pat myself on the back.
