How Often Should You Email Your Network?

Indigo Marketing Agency

Many financial advisors who are just getting started with their digital marketing often ask, “How often should I email my network?” Like most things in life, there’s no definitive answer. . A recent Morningstar study shows that 36.6% of clients prefer monthly emails, while 30% prefer weekly emails. (1). I personally recommend emailing your list at least once per month, but no more than once per week.

One Year Since the Bottom

The Irrelevant Investor

It's been one year since the market bottomed. Okay, fine, you got me. The real date was March 23rd. But since there will be a million posts on the actual anniversary, I thought it would be a good idea to front-run them. And even though the S&P 500 didn't bottom a year ago today, 31%* of stocks in the index did, so I'm within my rights to write this.

Ain’t So Bad

The Irrelevant Investor

For the 11th time since 1994, long-term bonds are in a 10% drawdown. The most interesting thing about this chart is that an all-time high followed all of them. And just eyeballing it, it looks like it didn't take too long for investors to get their money back. Bond investors got paid back quickly when interest rates rose because rates were relatively high.

Why Do Some People Hate Cathie Wood?

The Irrelevant Investor

A few years ago, I made a version of this chart highlighting the most famous investors of all time. It shows each investor at their 22nd birthday, ostensibly when they got into the financial industry. There are two glaring omissions in this chart: one, a lack of diversity. There are no people of color on this list, and there are no women. The other notable thing is that the youngest of them, Ken Griffin and David Einhorn, were born in 1968.
