Q2-22 – Bad Markets Don’t Last Forever: Keeping Perspective Amid Market Volatility
When the books closed on the first half of 2022, we as investors found ourselves off to the worst six months in the equity market since 1970, but it isn't all bad; it's all about perspective.
The first quarter of 2022 reminded investors, market participants, and commentators that volatility in capital markets is still a very real part of investing.
Q4-21 – Over in an Instant: 2021 A Year Well Spent Living in the Moment
For as long as the year 2020 seemed to last with a toxic cocktail of worsening news about the Coronavirus, rolling lockdowns, and a particularly contentious political season, the following year, 2021, seemed over in an instant. 2021 was truly a year of living in the moment.
Our second quarter letter was titled "Revenge of the Normal," appropriately describing market conditions that had transitioned from the COVID wall of worry to future growth expectations in a post-COVID world. If the second quarter was revenge of the normal, the third quarter could most aptly be described as "some more normal with a side of inflation."
The second quarter of 2021 had a "revenge of the normal" vibe reverberating through April, May, and June. Increased vaccinations brought many re-openings and a rally in capital markets. But as we know, everything can't be perfect. We are also seeing an uptick in the new Delta variant of COVID-19 and struggles with appropriate interest rate and inflation levels.
Q1-21 – Time + Vaccines = A Return to Normalcy Within Sight

It is important to conduct regular check-ups on your retirement plan to make sure you are on track to reach your retirement goals. Below are a few questions to ask yourself, at least annually, to see if (and how) they affect your retirement planning.
Retirement can be the most wonderful time of your life, truly the golden years. It is up to you to do what you can to make it so.Enjoying good health in retirement is key to quality of life. The other major determiner of quality of life in retirement is financial security.
The big question when it comes to retirement is, “How much money am I going to need?” With all of the advanced education and strategy tools available, it is still often difficult to understand the difference between what you can save for retirement and what is needed to retire.
If you had an unexpected emergency expense of $400, would you be able to pay for it? If your answer is no, you’re not alone. Forty-six percent of Americans said they would have difficulty with an emergency expense of $400.¹ Furthermore, 140 million Americans have little or no savings at all
All approach retirement, some sooner than others. To enjoy your retirement years and not be a burden on family members, it is essential that you save sufficient assets to carry you through your retirement. No one knows precisely the amount of assets you will need for a comfortable retirement, but the more you save now, the more comfortable you are likely to be at retirement.
Purchasing a home is a big decision. There are many factors to consider. Most importantly, what is your budget? Is now the time to rent instead? How do you know?
If debt is a leading contributor to your overall stress, you are not alone. The national mean for household credit card
debt is $16,000. The average total household debt, including mortgages, is $132,500. That volume of debt can be
a real burden on your wallet, relationships and ability to achieve other important goals like saving for retirement.
