Capital Market Talk

The Grinch Came to Christmas

Just a few days into the final Quarter of 2018, market participants became grumpy and continued their coal ways all the way through the end of the year – a seasonally strong historic period of time.

In our main capital market article we discuss the reasons why – no one knows for certain, and discuss the speed of the decline along with what the future may hold..

Updated Personal Theft Story

After having three credit cards stolen which we spoke of here, an interview with a detective brought to light some amazing stories of theft

  1. Never give gift cards as a payment –
  2. Don’t fall for fake blackmail –
  3. Have a safe word for fake kidnappers or other similar scams

Meet Jennifer Hill “Jen” Our New Operations Manager

In a more in-depth article that expands on her background, Jennifer “Jen” Hill has our formal introduction along with several fun pictures including a Charlie’s Angels and a D Magazine Wealth Managers Picture from our honored award of D Magazine’s Best Wealth Managers.

We hope you enjoy … talk to you in the Spring!

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.

10-24-17 10 Year Treasury

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.

10-13-17 Consumer Sentiment

See you at the end of November, which also features our very special Blooper Thanksgiving Video from a few years ago!

Happy Fall Season!

Restless Night October Boooo … John’s D Magazine Best Financial Planner on the Rack … Halloween, Time Change

Posted on October 31, 2014 by | 2 comments

Ever wake up in the middle of the night stirring of something in your life? You toss and turn, grumble, and finally get angry because you cannot go back to sleep as this issue/problem seems so insurmountable? (If you said no, pat yourself on the back, you are lucky)

You wake the next morning only to chuckle at how silly the worry was, and how you can easily conquer this problem/issue.

Maybe it is Halloween, or season change… who knows, but once again, October made for the middle of the night sleepless concern as capital markets gyrated, only to finally awaken to the fact that they are seasonally entering the best months of the calendar, as reminded here and here.

Not to worry, we have you covered …

Dallas’s D Magazine Best Financial Planner

As mentioned a bit early, after reading the congratulatory letter (letter asked to hold off on announcement until this week … oops, never saw that before), this week the “Formal Edition” of the Magazine hit the racks even with a mug of yours truly.

So this is the official announcement:

“John was honored and flattered to be nominated as one of D Magazines Top Planners for an Eighth consecutive time!” 

… much better!

Somehow they managed to sneak my mug and bio on the very last page of the entire section …. hand slap for early announcement? Ok …that’s fine, sorry guys.

Oh, of course K is the new Z in the alphabet! No matter, we appreciate the notoriety, congratulations fellow winners, most of which I know personally, are good professionals, and stand up folks.

Halloween Update

Pierce 2014Long time readers know today is the Mrs. absolute favorite celebratory day (last year pic) of the year. She says it’s the candy, I think it’s really the dress up. This costume which has been on and off since September, yes that early, is our recent Birthday boy (not me for those who also spied this picture on another popular public site … I promise) shows the family enthusiasm. Wish homework was completed that early!

Time Change Reminder

If you want a reason to spend time with those special in your life, how about this, tomorrow night is clock change time.  Seems like yesterday we were moving time to a more light evening. Don’t forget to spend … and oh yaa, move those clocks back too!

Have a Spooky Safe Halloween and a good weekend!
