3rd Quarter Review - Heading into the Election
 

The 2nd quarter distinguished itself by significantly increased volatility and ultimately seeing the unmanaged stock market indexes down.   

 

Those same market indexes are still up for the year, and it's my belief they will end the year positive, but with continued volatility.

 

November is the big election here in the United States, and regardless for whom you feel is better and hope will win, the market likes a reduction in uncertainty.  At that point, at least some semblance of planning can be done for a few years by the private sector as it analyzes the tax and regulatory environment it may find itself.

 

Europe is unwinding, unemployment is still high, and Asia is slowing down.  Profitability is high in our largest companies, cash balances on large multi-national corporations are huge, and creative destruction is in full bloom.

 

All adds up to some volatility.

Make Saving a Habit     

 

 
I've met with literally thousands of people over my 21 year career.

Many people have asked "how can I be rich?".

The question is so difficult to answer.  Besides the obvious "win the lotto" and "hope you inherit tons of money", most of us will increase our probability of reaching our goals if we simply spend less than we make, save religiously, invest wisely, and avoid catastrophic financial events.

Your ability to make saving a habit is one of the first steps.

Perhaps you're already a good saver.

Whether you're a great saver or wish you could be better, I encourage you to click on the below link for some great tips.

Are you interested in talking with me about your finances and investments but not sure if we're the right fit?

 

I have clients of all portfolio sizes, ages, employment, and stages of life.

 

What I like to do is make a difference in someone's life.  Frankly, it's just as rewarding for me to work with a young couple who are serious about planning and saving for their future as it is to manage portfolios and wealth for business owners and retirees.

 

Don't be shy.  If you're curious about whether we'd be a right fit, give me a call and we can talk.   It would be a great honor. 

   

   

Winners and Losers for the 2nd Quarter 2012   

 

Much of the unmanaged stock market index gain for 2012 was in January, April, and June.  May was brutal.

In my opinion, you must have a well diversified, long term strategy for your portfolio and for reaching your financial goals.

Do you have a plan and strategy you're comfortable with?  If the answer is "no" in any form, I encourage you to call me so we can discuss what needs to happen in order for you to emphatically answer "yes!" to that question.

163 Days until the release of
The Hobbit Movie   

Haven't you figured out yet that my wife and I are total nerds?

We love J.R.R. Tolkien, and the Lord of the Rings movies are among our favorites.

On December 13th the first of 2 prequels come out.  The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.

Just FYI, I plan on annoying you for the rest of the year about this movie.
