Arguably the #1 rule when it comes to investing is pretty simply: Stay Invested! S&P hits a new high in one of the "best days" for the market in 2026. Missing out on these rare and random "best days" can be detrimental to your portfolio's performance and growth over time. Staying invested--with a sound, and appropriate asset allocation--means you'll never miss out on these types of market rallies. Got questions? Then get answers. I'm happy to offer input on any and all things related to your portfolio, and financial goals.

The S&P 500 closed at a record high Tuesday, supported by strong corporate earnings, a rebound in tech shares and traders embracing hopes for progress on reopening the Strait of Hormuz.

I’m thrilled to announce that I have officially earned the Accredited Porfolio Manager Advisor (APMA®) designation! Earning this certification represents dozens of hours of studying, comprehensive coursework (to include mastering formulas that have more letters than numbers…if you catch my drift), and a deep dedication to the portfolio management and financial planning profession.

I’m looking forward to applying the knowledge and insight that I’ve gained from the APMA® course to help my clients achieve financial success, along with helping them better understand the why and the how behind our decisions when it comes to managing their portfolio.
