Happy Monday/Tuesday to everyone. Today’s email, I want to share some insights to our industry. A look “behind the curtain look at Oz” in a financial advisory office. Some behind the scenes limitations. These topics are the genesis of my 2nd book currently being written. Before I do, at the bottom of this email in [...]
I am out of the office this week for my first getaway of 2020. This email is coming from out of the office and not in its usual format. This is a short email. Last Monday’s email I noted, I was skipping this week’s email due to short week, plus I am out of the [...]

Happy Monday August 24, 2020. I don’t know about you, but I am ready for 2020 to be over. Or simply, I’m ready for the old norm to return. I don’t think the old normal will be the new normal again for some time. I rarely go anywhere these days and when I do, I’m [...]

Good morning and happy Monday to everyone, Today’s email has some good juicy information relating to FAANGM (called “Fang” stocks), Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, Google, and Microsoft. For a few weeks now, I have been wanting to share this information, but needed to compile more data, and also figure out how I want to explain [...]
Happy Monday to you. Major League Baseball starts back up this week. Yeah, finally some team sports to watch.
