Gold and silver have had a strong run, but even precious metals don’t move in a straight line.

The bigger question isn’t what they did yesterday, but what role they may play in a portfolio looking ahead. Markets change, and perspective matters.

@DumboTraiding Used to own this years ago but don't see any catalyst to get it off the ground. Rough seeing it dead while other natural gas companies like $LNG are up +46% YTD. What's your take?

Markets don’t fall apart on a schedule. Data shows how quickly volatility can cluster: 2008 had 23 days w/ losses greater than 3%; 2020 had 16. The next correction won’t send a calendar invite & midterm elections won’t change that. Build a portfolio for the days you can’t predict

Gridlock might not always be good for the country or getting things done, but often times the market loves it.

Stocks historically do much better when Congress is split versus unified.

My Portfolio Guide was built from a certain mindset.
Don’t let the market (or life!) happen to you. Have a plan, stay disciplined, and make decisions based on your goals...not the latest headline.

Back to the USA and the office but had to piggy back off this post. Along with amazing memories, historic, and scenic visits, I’ll never forget the treat of playing the Old Course, birdieing the 17th Road Hole then finishing with a par on 18. I feel complete 😂🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⛳️

As an economics student 30 years ago, my eyes were opened to free markets & the “invisible hand”. Standing at Adam Smith’s monument in Edinburgh, I learned the father of modern economics was proudly Scottish.

October is National Financial Planning Month.

Financial planning is about more than investments...it’s about making sure all the pieces of your financial life work together.

Have a plan. Know your numbers. Know your direction.

30 years ago I wore the black and gold uniform competing as a student athlete. It was an honor and a lot of fun to come back with my current “uniform” as a panelist for the Beach Fin Rising Wealth Symposium. @CSULB @csulbalumni #GoBeach

30 years ago, this would’ve been a pink-sheet stock with a 1-800 number, fax machine and boiler-room pitch.
Today? A potential $2T+ company.
Anthropic: $4.6B revenue, $8.1B operating loss, nearly $42B net loss and $518B in future commitments.
Great company ≠ great IPO price.
