An investment service helping individuals and businesses identify and achieve their financial goals.

You work hard. You save. You contribute to retirement. You try to make good financial decisions.

But do you know what all of that money is actually working toward?

It's easy to focus on account balances and investment returns without stopping to think about what you ultimately want that money to make possible.

Maybe it's retirement. Maybe it's traveling, helping your children, or simply reaching a point where you have more choices about how you spend your time.

Once you know what you're working toward, you can begin asking a much more useful question: Is what I'm doing today helping me get there?

That's the idea behind the latest edition of The Long & Short of It.

If you've ever wondered whether your financial decisions are really connected to the future you want, I hope you'll give it a read.

For many people, one financial question quietly lingers in the back of their mind:

"Am I behind?"

Maybe you started investing later than you planned.

Maybe student loans, raising a family, buying a home, or simply trying to make ends meet took priority.

Or maybe you've been meaning to start investing but just haven't taken that first step.

After years of working with individuals and families, I've learned something important:

Almost everyone feels like they're behind.

The truth is, building wealth isn't about having a perfect past. It's about making disciplined decisions that move you closer to your goals over time.

In this edition of The Long & Short of It, I explore why so many people feel this way, why comparing yourself to others can be one of the biggest obstacles to financial progress, and what really matters when building long-term wealth.

I hope you'll take a few minutes to read it.

Why does money feel so stressful?

For many people, it's not because they don't have enough money. It's because they don't know if they're making the right decisions.

Am I saving enough? Will I be able to retire comfortably? Am I investing correctly What happens if something unexpected occurs?

Like a lighthouse cutting through the fog, a financial plan can't predict the future, but it can provide direction when the path ahead feels uncertain.

In this edition of The Long & Short of It, Dane explores why financial stress is often rooted in uncertainty and how clarity can help build confidence.

Earnings season provides something markets do not always have. Clarity.

While headlines continue to focus on inflation, energy prices, and geopolitical uncertainty, the underlying data is telling a more nuanced story.

S&P 500 net profit margins are currently at or near record levels, suggesting that businesses continue to operate from a position of strength despite the broader narrative.

In the latest edition of The Long & Short of It, Dane Krich from Odyssey Investments examines what earnings season is revealing about the current environment and why it is important to distinguish between perception and reality.

Markets don’t wait for clarity. They move ahead of it.

As of April 14, 2026, the Nasdaq has risen for 10 consecutive trading days, its longest winning streak since 2021. What makes this notable is not just the move itself, but the environment it is happening in. Inflation concerns remain, geopolitical tensions persist, and headlines continue to shift daily.

So why are markets moving higher?

In the latest edition of The Long & Short of It, Dane Krich from Odyssey Investments explores this disconnect and what it reveals about how markets actually function. Prices are driven by expectations, not headlines, and markets often begin to recover before the broader economy shows clear signs of improvement.

The piece also takes a longer-term view, examining how markets have performed through past periods of conflict and uncertainty, and why maintaining discipline remains critical, especially when the outlook is unclear.

If you are thinking about how current events may impact your portfolio, this is a timely perspective.

How are rising oil prices impacting markets right now, and what does that mean for your portfolio?

One of the clearest trends we are seeing in 2026 is the relationship between energy prices and equities. As oil prices move higher, markets have come under pressure, reflecting growing concerns around inflation, rising costs, and economic uncertainty.

This is not just a headline story. It is directly influencing how markets behave and how portfolios should be positioned.

In the latest edition of The Long & Short of It, Dane Krich takes a closer look at this dynamic, including a chart showing how oil and the S&P 500 have moved since the beginning of the year, and what that may signal for investors.

If you are approaching retirement, or simply thinking about how your portfolio is positioned in the current environment, this is a piece worth reading.

What is wealth, really?

It is easy to think of wealth as the accumulation of money. But money itself is not wealth. It is a tool. A means of exchange. The real driver of wealth is ownership.

In our latest edition of The Long & Short of It, we take a step back and look at how different asset classes have behaved over time, and what that tells us about how wealth is actually built.

The takeaway is simple, but important. Wealth is not created by holding dollars. It is created by owning assets that have the potential to grow over time.

If you have ever thought about how to better align your financial decisions with long-term goals, this is a piece worth reading.

Inflation is one of the most closely watched economic indicators, and today’s CPI report showed prices rising at an annual rate of 2.4%, largely in line with expectations.

While monthly inflation data often captures headlines, the longer-term perspective tells a more meaningful story. Since 1995, prices in the United States have increased by approximately 111%. Over that same period, the S&P 500 has increased by more than 1,000%.

This relationship highlights an important reality for long-term investors. Inflation is persistent, but disciplined investing has historically been one of the most effective ways to maintain and grow purchasing power over time.

In the latest edition of The Long & Short of It, Dane Krich takes a closer look at inflation, long-term investing, and why maintaining a thoughtful investment strategy remains so important.

Recent military strikes in Iran and rising geopolitical tensions have once again reminded investors how quickly uncertainty can enter global markets. While the major indices have experienced only modest pullbacks this year, the story beneath the surface tells a very different one.

In the latest edition of The Long & Short of It, Dane Krich looks at what recent volatility is really telling investors and why diversification remains one of the most important principles in long-term investing.
