Every four years, around this time, I find myself digging through the same charts. You’d think I’d eventually stop. I don’t. Not because I’m looking for something to confirm what I already believe. Quite the opposite. I’m looking for reasons…
If you drive a car, heat your house, order packages from Amazon, or fly on an airplane, this matters to you. In other words, it matters to almost everyone. You don’t have to trade oil futures. You don’t need to…
It’s a question I didn’t expect to ask myself. Now I can’t stop thinking about it. When the new Trump Accounts were announced, I didn’t think much of them at first. I already have 529 plans for my kids. Those…

Every bull market has doubters. A new study by Allianz found that 62% of Americans think a major recession is right around the corner. Only one in four believe now is a good time to invest. You can see that…
