My grandmother’s idea of diversification was to keep her money in a bunch of different mattresses. Well, maybe it’s not a joke. Not that you should keep your money in a mattress. But the Silicon Valley Bank debacle presents a great opportunity to examine a crucial issue for investors — risk associated with custody, including where you hold your cash.

I asked a Chatbot if artificial intelligence is going to make human financial advisors obsolete. The answer was interesting -- and reassuring.

Artificial Intelligence applications — and especially chatbots, which can seemingly research and write like us humans, are becoming increasingly prevalent.

In some ways, 2022 was a historically bad year in the markets. In other ways, it was perfectly manageable. Read our commentary. And start to learn about the Secure Act 2.0 and its implications for retirement planning.

Well, that was fun. It wasn’t quite the worst ever year for stocks. Thank goodness for that. But bonds had one of (if not) their worst years ever. Consequently, the role that bonds usually play in a portfolio – buffering losses in the occasional bad years for stocks – didn’t happen – and e...

ESG investing has become a political football. After a two-year obstacle, the current Department of Labor (DOL) has restored the opportunity for workers to invest sustainably in their 401(k)s. Read the latest and learn more about ESG investing and whether it might be right for you.

The political football has been tossed back into the hands of workplace retirement investors who want to take their values into account in managing their portfolios.

Retirement means different things to different people. For some, it’s nirvana. For others, it’s a dirty word. In this blog article, we discuss the various nuances, make suggestions on how to navigate this transition on your own terms and provide some valuable resources.

I made the mistake of asking a client when she wanted to retire. This is a common inquiry to my clients. Yet unwittingly, I opened a fraught subject for this couple. She loved her job and wanted to work forever. He was ready to retire now and see the world. I learned a valuable lesson. […]

How would a drawn-out, disputed or contested election affect the markets? The Constitution and history will be our guides.

What’s better for investors, Republican Presidents or Democrat Presidents? It’s a trick question. First, because in general, over the long run, it doesn’t matter. While some data correlates Democratic administrations with stronger markets since the end of World War II, there is no evidence of ...

My thoughts on Covid-19 and its impact on the economy, investments and life.

There are decades when nothing happens; and there are weeks when decades happen. I’m pretty sure that’s the first time I have quoted Vladimir Lenin in a client note. And probably the last. A great deal has indeed happened since my first post on the coronavirus pandemic, when the implications wer...
