Josh Mell, Financial Advisor - Stifel Our Approach:

Figure out the destination first, then devise the travel plan. We think that approach is fundamentally backwards.

In our experience, a majority of “planning” advisors will ask you about your investments and resources, then tell you what you can do with it or how much you can spend. We prefer to ask:

What is important to you and your family? What are your concerns that those goals might not be met? Once we know what’s important to you, then we can develop a customized roadmap to help you pursue your goals. Our Philosophy

Tailoring our services to your goals. Understanding your needs, wants, and wishes is essential to forming a meaningful client-advisor relationship. Being able to provide services that are most important to each client or family is the foundation of our service model. As your needs change, we change with them. Much like how our clients’ lives evolve and change – from changing jobs, additions and subtractions from the family, lifestyle changes, and retirement – we must be as flexible in addressing our clients’ needs, as their lives can be complex. That is why understanding what your goals are at any given moment in time is so important.

For young workers without a college degree, the job market is the strongest it has been in years. New research shows unemployment among 22- to 34-year-olds without degrees is near historic lows, driven by strong demand for skilled trades workers. Turns out knowing how to fix something may be more valuable than knowing how to explain why a PowerPoint will improve ROI.

Imagine if one of the world's busiest highways suddenly became unpredictable. That's roughly what global shipping is dealing with. Tensions around the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's most important energy chokepoints, have added another complication to a shipping network already navigating disruptions around the Red Sea.

America's debt situation has been getting plenty of attention lately, and this isn't the first debt drama in history. Nearly 500 years ago, Henry VIII faced a budget problem ... His strategy? Quietly reduce the amount of gold and silver in England's coins while keeping their face value the same. People eventually caught on, and the episode became one of history's earliest examples of currency debasement.

The idea is less sweat and more staying power in the heat. Proof that even your gym shirt now comes with a spec sheet.
