There are specific events that happen throughout our lives where we remember where we were and what we were doing while it occurred. I was shopping for new shoes on 5th Avenue in New York City when I found out…
You’d think with stocks ripping to fresh highs, the mood out there would be euphoric. Confetti. Champagne. Victory laps. Instead, it feels like the opposite. Just yesterday, the S&P 500 closed at a new all-time high. So did the Dow…
At this point, I think most of us are familiar with the old 60/40 portfolio. The idea is to have a balance between stocks and bonds, so that when stocks go through a rough patch, the bond allocation makes up…
