Have you ever wondered how long to keep important financial records such as receipts, bank statements, and credit card bills? You’re not alone! Rather than keep everything forever and let the stacks of paper reach the ceiling, develop an organized system of keeping receipts for the recommended amount of time. Remember, the IRS recommends keeping tax-related documents for at least six years.

This blog is not for the faint of heart. I am writing it because I’m sick of the BS narratives perpetrated by the financial media, a prime example being the Barron’s Top Advisor List. There are other nonsense financial advisor rankings such as Forbes and CNBC that I rip apart here too. I’m keeping a running tally of these BS advisor ranking lists and please let me know if there are any I am missing, I’ll put them on my hit list.

I t was a stormy month in the stock market, but the sun eventually came out and the Dow Jones Industrial Average rallied more than 2,300+ points before eking out a small gain (up +0.04%) and the S&P 500 index also posted an incremental increase (+0.005%).

There may be a significant tax opportunity for your clients who have company stock in their 401(k) plans that have highly appreciated over time. Net Unrealized Appreciation (NUA) allows clients to roll dollars in company stock into a brokerage account. They'll pay ordinary income tax only on the basis in the company's stock, and they will be able to pay capital gains tax , which is most often at a lower rate on the appreciation when they sell it in the brokerage account.

Quite simply, a down round is when a company raises money at a lower valuation per share relative to earlier financing rounds. A simple example: a startup raises a Series B at a $30M post-money valuation and a Series C at a $20M post-money valuation. Working for a startup involves risk. Employees with equity or stock options are participants in the ups – and downs – along the way.

Inflation, supply chain issues, labor shortages, and an uptick in natural disasters are all contributing to the rise in the cost of home construction and repairs. Without sufficient insurance coverage, a homeowner is at risk of having to pay out of pocket to rebuild their home after a disaster.

Outside of the housing bubble that led to the GFC, this is the worst affordability since 1991. That's according to Bill McBride , who shares this terrific yet awful chart on his substack. With prices surging alongside interest rates, we're finally starting to see some relief out there. Mike Simonsen shows that for the last six weeks, we had fewer percent of listings as immediate sales; down to 23%, from a peak of 33% towards the end of last year.
