Financial Planning Tip(s)

AI and Cyber Reminders

Our continued interest in AI and the pace at which it is changing, has drawn attention.

Here in our Jarvis Moment Post, we talk of the AI Agents – think little AI personal assistants for you, BUT there ability to wreak havoc if left unrestricted to your personal information and credentials.

Close-up of a futuristic AI device with glowing blue components, symbolizing artificial intelligence and technological innovation.

Not surprising, given the above pace, here in our Cyber example post …. SEVEN really good examples of cyber emails that occurred in just 48 hours …

A person dressed in dark clothing and sunglasses, wearing a beanie, appears to be engaged in a suspicious activity, with a blue and purple background.

We will keep you updated on the AI and Cyber – you guys just keep your collective guards up and know this is changing fast and getting better and better…. No need to be frightened, just front of mind and careful when reviewing emails, texts or any other unfamiliar contact!

Capital Market Comments

Geo Politics

Early Saturday morning, February 28th, 2026 – a quick update from Ian Bremmer, (a Global Economist) hit the inbox. It is an 8 minute review that gives a high level review of the events of Saturday morning.

Likely worth the time to get a, click on the picture for link to video.

Tariffs

In our post here just after the Supreme Court ruling … we mention the continued Sections that Tariff pivots will likely take …email notification of post did not show all the sections- see below.

Text discussing three legal sections related to continued tariffs, including Section 122, Section 301, and Section 232, with a note about the urgency of Section 122.

Have a Great Day talk to You at the end of March – 2026!
