Yes, I know. It’s been a while. We’ve been busy hedging. Are you hedged? In recent months, bond market participants have been singing a very different song than stock market participants. Treasury yields have dropped significantly, nearing all-time lows (set in mid-2016), as institutional investors seeking safety have increased buying. Remember, when buying action in
Summers here in Vermont are about as good as it gets. After a particularly long and snowy winter, we bask in the glow of glorious sunsets, warm but not (usually) boiling temperatures, and creamees. (That’s a term I associated with a particularly gross high school hazing activity when I first heard it after moving here

I met with a personal trainer this morning who told me I need to work smarter, not harder. I’d been doing hour-long weight lifting and aerobic workouts five days a week, which poses greater injury risk and, potentially, long-term heart damage. He told me I could achieve a higher fitness level, reduce injuries, and just
There are two major economic trends that have been unfolding for almost forty years now, and both are nearing a turning point. Interest rates and tax rates have been declining since the early 1980s and both must go up at some point. I’ve been telling our clients that tax and interest rates are going to
I met with a prospective client recently who had an account full of actively managed mutual funds.
