Regular readers know we had a fairly busy summer planned, especially with the Tennis circuit going –
What we did not know is just how busy it would be with a few successful Tennis Tournaments – So a few successes lead to more tournament opportunities – which in turn led to NO Vacation — SO FAR-
Vacation Today and Next Week
As you read this, the 13 year old and myself will have landed late last night in a neighboring state to catch up with the rest of the family, including a sibling and parent — who have been in said state basking in the coolness for some time now!
All good !
Speaking of Travels, the Capone family are wheels up tomorrow for a 10 + hour journey to the beach for the week with a very pregnant Mrs. Capone and two boys that are sure to make the trip memorable!
Good Luck!
Hardware Update
Early this week the Four Times Faster Hardware arrived – While exposing some slowness in our older machines, we are off to the races.
We will be testing it over the next week as remote is the new norm…
There is a goal of completing several New Vault Update videos … but no promises!!
Enjoy your Friday and your weekend.
Have a Great “Much needed R and R” Day!

October 2017 Video
Break In – D Magazine Honors – Best Wealth Managers
We are super happy to be honored in D Magazines Best Financial Planner and Wealth Managers Award !!
Thanks so much and congratulations to our fellow recipients.
11th Consecutive Honor – John Kvale Best Individual Financial Planner
The 11th consecutive D Magazine best Financial Planner award was also in this edition and we are super happy to announce, John received his 11th consecutive nomination!
Financial Planning Tip(s)-
Social Security Increase
Don’t smirk at 2%, every penny counts! With a CPI (Consumer Price Index) increase of 2% year over year, the Social Security Administration passed the good news on earlier this month. Take that 2% increase and run!
Capital Market Comments
Rates are Slowly Ticking Up
After much silence on interest rates, we have taken notice of recent movement as the global economy begins to pick up steam … Overseas seems to really be getting their act together.
Consumer Sentiment Also Higher
The University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment hit a post “Great Recession” high this month.
With two thirds of our US Economy being based on consumer consumption, this bodes well for the Economy.
See you at the end of November, which also features our very special Blooper Thanksgiving Video from a few years ago!
Happy Fall Season!
