Many analysts contend that current stock valuations resemble the dot-com era. You can see it visually at CurrentMarketValuation.com. Some highlights… The classic “Buffett Indicator” certainly seems to be in nosebleed territory. Notice that the valuations in 1966, the beginning of a long-term bear market, were also high.

Who are you called to serve? The answer to this question should be at the very heart of your marketing message. When I went to business school and studied marketing, the biggest takeaway I learned was that those who are intimately aware of their clients’ needs are the ones who become the best marketers and reach the most people. I expand on this concept even more in the short video below.

You may have a big have a goal you want to achieve or an upcoming financial obligation and you need to figure out how to save money fast. I should know, I was once a thousand dollars short for my tuition and had less than a month before the college I attended dropped me from my classes.

The past decade has been one of endless prosperity. At least in risk assets. Since 2011, the S&P 500 has gained nearly 300%. The return on certain individual securities makes the overall stock market look like a savings account. Over the same time, Apple and Amazon have gained more than one thousand percent. Netflix more than two thousand percent.

There are tons of advisors out there who still send their clients market commentaries each week like clockwork. (I know because I’m on several of these email lists and see the same commentaries sent out dozens of times.) Today, I want to challenge the assumption that market commentaries are a good use of your time. Watch the 3-minute video as I talk about: Why market commentaries confuse your clients and do more harm than good Why you should take the “quality over quantity” approach and focus

Finance teams are drowning in data—but is it actually helping them spend smarter? Without the right approach, excess spending, inefficiencies, and missed opportunities continue to drain profitability. While analytics offers powerful insights, financial intelligence requires more than just numbers—it takes the right blend of automation, strategy, and human expertise.

I just talked with one of the most successful hedge fund managers in the country (in terms of returns over the last four years). He will not allow me to use his name. But I can tell you he is a raging bull. He believes the stimulus that we already had plus what we will get—coupled with a major infrastructure bill, plus extraordinarily easy monetary policy, combined with significant new technology innovations—adds up to a new bull market.

If the stock market had a mantra, it would be "buy the dip." Today, millions of market participants repeated this over and over again. Today, the S&P 500 was down nearly 2% at its low point, but it stormed a late comeback to finish positive. This sort of move has happened on 121 other occasions since 1970, or 1% of all days. But what's more interesting than how often they happen is where they happen.

I want to share a quick story on how investor appetite changes. Today we're going to be looking at USMV, the iShares min-vol factor ETF. From the launch in late 2011 up through February of last year, money poured in, passing $40 billion. It was one of the top 20 ETFs by assets. The story was a good one. Equity returns with a smoother ride. And it worked.The standard deviation was 10%, compared with 17% for the S&P 500.

Last year was the worst one on record for value stocks. It's no wonder that one of the questions that came up over and over again was, "Is value investing dead?" You've probably noticed that value investing has been the opposite of dead for a while now. In fact, small value stocks have more than doubled since the low last year. Yes, I'm cherry-picking.

Fed Chairman Jerome Powell believes the US unemployment rate, officially at 6.3% in January, is clearly understated. That rate is likely closer to 10%, if they include those who left the labor force because of the pandemic. That isn't the only data in need of adjusting. Just look at the Labor Department’s business birth/death estimates. Those are aspirational.
