Let my team partner with you to help make your dreams a reality.
You want trusted and objective advice and expertise, and to know what you own, why you own it, and how it all fits into a plan that helps you achieve financial security. I come from four generations of investment professionals, and over my 20-plus years in this business, I have learned that successful investing results from a combination of patience, discipline, and good judgment – that investing is not gambling – and that those who are in it for the long term will succeed.

My 16-year old son and I took a walk through the neighbourhood last weekend, the latest instalment in our weekly series of ‘Let’s get away from our screens and talk about Important Things, while Mum tries not to trip over her own feet’. Spoiler alert: mere steps from the house I went down like a sack of potatoes thanks to an unspotted mud puddle.
Usually, our conversation consists of how school is going, or how ill-behaved the dog continues to be, but this week he surprised me by glumly stating, “I will never be able to afford a house.”

Here we are in the Dog Days of Summer, already, though June and July seemed to last about four seconds long. Summertime, and the living is easy, as they say.

The stock market continues to do its thing, plodding higher, and the theme remains unchanged. The US Federal Reserve met this week and held rates near zero, announced that the US economy is continuing to strengthen, but that rate hikes are not imminent without more economic progress.

We see ourselves having some ground to cover to get there.” He also noted that the pandemic is posing a rising threat due to the rapid spread of the Delta variant, but, meh, it won’t have a major economic impact. We’ll keep trucking on, learning to live with it.

Mr. Bezos will retain the title of Executive Chairman, so presumably we won’t see paparazzi photos of him at Margaritaville with a giant inflatable parrot on his head (good news for those of us that like to frequent the place).

Fast forward about 35 years and we started to read all about the death of bricks and mortar stores. Nobody was going to malls anymore, and why would they? We could order things online and have them delivered to us in ever-shortening time spans.
This year, I’ve had to learn to care about meme stocks
