“Almost everyone on Wall Street and in Washington got 2022 wrong.” That’s the lede in a December 26, 2022, article by The Wall Street Journal, and it got me thinking: If so many people were so wrong about 2022, what does that mean for the new year ahead? Multiple predictions for 2022 markets were off…
For me, News Year’s resolutions are something I put a lot of work into before the year ends. If I’m going to take steps to help improve my and my family’s financial future, I don’t want to make those choices simply because a certain date on the calendar arrives—I want to ensure that every decision…
Last week, I discussed the joy I feel when I read about gold owners making anonymous donations to charitable causes. This week, I’d like to talk about another great source of joy in my life: you, our clients. Every day, I feel grateful to you for your loyalty and support. I feel a great sense…

Whenever I can, I like to plan ahead. I prefer to keep my eye on the future and do whatever I can to prepare myself and my portfolio for whatever may be headed our way. For example, I recently read that October’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) data show a small drop in inflation, from 8.2%…
As I write this, millions of Americans are heading out to the polls to vote in the 2022 midterm elections. As I continue to watch headlines regarding the possible economic impact of this year’s election, I get thinking about the future—specifically, the future I want to help create for my loved ones. When we have…
“Inflation” and “recession” continue to be two of the hottest words in financial news these days. On October 25, 2022, Bloomberg reported that “there are early signs that U.S. consumers, who have been largely resilient in the face of relentless inflation, are beginning to balk at high prices.” Meanwhile, Fortune.com wrote on October 24, 2022,…
How can one plan for a future that is unknowable? It’s unfortunate, but I believe this is the mindset that too many Americans tend to have when it comes to their financial well-being. Since they can’t say for certain what will happen next, they instead opt for a “wait and see” approach. But as we’ve…
When I go on vacation, I don’t feel the need to calculate every single dollar I plan to spend—but I still like to create a general budget so I know about how much I’m willing or able to spend on a given trip. For me, it’s all about planning for what I can while also…
