Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers among men, and also one of the most treatable when it's caught early.

This September, during Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, we're encouraging the men in our lives, and ourselves, to make time for the conversations and checkups that matter.

A quick conversation with your doctor could make all the difference. Here's to catching it early.

There are four keys to doing well in the markets.

This is not one of those penny stock ads or any “Get Rich Quick” schemes.

These keys will, however, help you stay disciplined and progressing towards your goals. So, without further ado, here they are:

Set a destination in mind. Meaning, what is the point of your investments? By when will you need your investments to pay for what you need?

Decide on the acceptable level of risk for your journey to your destination. Investments have the potential to lose value. Those investments that sound amazing because they went up 100%, also tend to have the potential to go down 50% or more. Really, this question of risk comes down to, what level of volatility is needed for your plan to be successful? Remember, volatility is just a measurement of speed at which the price moves. That movement includes rising prices.

Follow rules to your buying and selling of securities, not headlines. In other words, remove the emotions from your investment decisions. It is a lot easier said than done, which is why having a good advisor is tremendously helpful. Make sure your advisor has a rules-based approach to their investments.

Always do your research. Don’t rely on “that guy at work” for your investment advice. Don’t rely on that one headline either. I have found that by doing your own research, you automatically remove a lot of emotion from the buy or sell decision.

There you have it. Four keys to investing in the markets. Of course, this is not an exhaustive list, but these are ones I find are missed by average investors. If you don’t feel you have all four in place with your plan, please give me a call.

Happy Senior Citizens Day!

August 21st is National Senior Citizens Day! Ronald Reagan made it a national holiday, and in his proclamation he said, “For all they have achieved throughout life and for all they continue to accomplish, we owe older citizens our thanks and a heartfelt salute. We can best demonstrate our gratitude and esteem by making sure that our communities are good places in which to mature and grow older—places in which older people can participate to the fullest and can find the encouragement, acceptance, assistance, and services they need to continue to lead lives of independence and dignity.”

Let’s take a moment to honor and appreciate the wisdom, experience, and contributions of our beloved senior citizens. They have played an instrumental role in shaping our society and have so much to offer, from their wealth of knowledge to their inspiring life stories.

We believe in fostering an inclusive and diverse community that values every generation. We encourage everyone to take the time to listen to and learn from the experiences of our seniors. Their insights are invaluable as we face the challenges and opportunities of the future.

Whether it’s playing games, giving a gift, or taking the time to listen to their life stories, let's make an effort to reach out to a senior citizen. Show gratitude for their presence, and make them feel appreciated, because they should be.

It’s officially the Dog Days of Summer! This is the hottest and muggiest part of the season for most of us. This month is traditionally when the Northern Hemisphere waits for the relief of cooler autumn weather.

The term “Dog Days” comes from ancient astronomy. In the southern sky at night, you might be able to find the brightest star in the sky, the ancient Romans called Sirius, from the Greek for “glowing” or “scorcher.”

Since this star is the bright eye in the constellation named Canis Major, which means the Big Dog, Sirius is called the Dog Star.

Ancients believed that it acted like another, smaller sun, increasing the heat of their humid summers. As summer wears on, Sirius rises nearer and nearer to the Sun. The time when the two seem to meet in the sky is called their conjunction. The Romans named the 20 days before and after that conjunction “the Dog Days,” after the Dog Star.

Maybe this summer you’ll be able to spot the Dog Star in the sky, and wish upon it cooler days ahead!

Have you ever heard the term “mental money mistake?” These are subtle errors in judgement. Basic oversights and miscalculations. As a rule, they tend to be subtle and easy to miss, but they can still have a negative impact on your finances. For example, one of the most common mental money mistakes is being TOO afraid of risk.

Most investors know how important it is to avoid taking on more risk than they can afford. That’s why advisors like me spend a LOT of time going over concepts like “risk tolerance” with our clients. After all, no one wants to get burned by a bad investment and end up losing a hefty chunk of their nest egg.

But did you know that it’s possible to be overly risk-averse? The fact of the matter is that all investing involves some risk. But investors are so afraid of losses that they end up missing out on opportunity after opportunity, and in the end, don’t have the funds to accomplish their financial goals.

That definitely qualifies as a mental money mistake.

This same principle applies to retirees, too. Of course, retirees should invest more conservatively than younger investors. But again, that doesn’t mean they should sacrifice all potential for growth. You see, many retirees often discover that the money they saved can dry up pretty quickly, especially on things like medical care. That’s why allocating at least a portion of your portfolio for growth even after retirement is an important way to ensure you don’t outlive your money. That means accepting at least some level of risk, even when you’re retired.

So, as you save and invest for the future, take time to determine not only how much risk you can afford…but also how little.

Sometimes, I stumble across a National Day that makes me laugh. Sometimes, I come across one that makes me laugh at first, but then feel inspired. That’s what happened today when I saw this one.

Did you know that July 26th is National All-or-Nothing Day? It’s a day dedicated to completing your to-do list and making things happen.

When thinking about it, while everyone gets things done, my thoughts turned to my friends and clients who are business owners.

You are those who get things done. While this poem comes from a children’s book of poems, I feel it fits the business owner.

You strive every day. You give your all. In doing so, you pave the way for others to follow.

Thank you for doing what you do!

On July 20, 1969, American astronauts, Neil Armstrong and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin, were the first humans to ever land on the moon. This was a momentous occasion for the entire world and singlehandedly changed technology for the future. NASA created the most efficient and exceptional technology to lead to the success of the Apollo 11 mission. In doing so, countless inventions were created using their advancements.

Do you know how many things originated from the technology and exploration of space? Here are just a few things we have, that originated from NASA’s space exploration. Celebrate this year’s moon landing anniversary by learning about the cool inventions we have!

• weather satellites

Nitwit: A silly or foolish person.

Knit Wit: An absolutely amazing group of grandmas.

While some of the ladies would argue with the name, the Knit Wits, all of them love doing what they do. These wonderful ladies have gathered every Friday for over twenty years at a senior living center in Texas (their oldest member is 102!). Their purpose? To knit items to be shipped all around the world and given to those in need of a little love and warmth. Over the years they’ve knit thousands of items

The group began by making helmet liners for troops in Afghanistan. They’ve also knit cuddly dolls for orphans from Ukraine. Currently, they are working with a children’s hospital in Dallas, Texas, to make warm hats for babies fighting heart conditions. These hats help console and calm the babies. To keep the hats fun, they are themed around various holidays. This industrious group is able to knit about 10 hats each week.

No matter the project, this wonderful group is bringing a little more fun and warmth into the world. Just goes to show, that no matter how old we are, just a little dedication and consistency could put some major good out into the world.

Here’s a fun financial fact I learned recently! Do you know where the piggy bank originated from? There has been some debate on its origins but one theory states that it comes from an orange clay called ‘pygg’ pronounced ‘pug’ that was commonly used to make household pots and plates in the 15th century. During this time people would place their coins at home, inside those pots. When the English language evolved the pronunciation of ’y’ changed to an ‘I’ which changed the word to ‘pig’. English potters would shape their ‘pygg’ money jars into the shapes of pigs to humor customers with a play on words. And over time it morphed into the ‘piggy bank’ that we have today.
