According to the National Association of Realtors, the median price of a house in the United States is worth $190,000 more than it was a decade ago. If you’ve owned a house for more than 3 years or so, you’re likely sitting on some nice gains. Those gains were not evenly distributed but across the various income levels, homeowners have made a good chunk of change: The pandemic-related housing gains are unlike.
Your LinkedIn headline is a 120-character “hook” that appears right under your name on your profile and in search results. Similar to a newspaper or magazine headline, yours should be catchy, interesting, and easy to read. Your headline is your opportunity to capture interest and invite users to learn more about you. You may not realize that headlines show up along with your name during an active search, meaning that as I type into the LinkedIn search bar, profiles and their corresponding headli
This is Midjourney AI’s imagined version of my new car. I’ll update this picture once I take delivery and head out on my first real camping trip! As I type this, I’m jumping through the various hoops involved in buying a 2023 Tesla Model Y, a spectacularly expensive, large luxury “crossover” that is absolutely loaded to the gills with excess: all wheel drive, faster acceleration than a Lamborghini, enough space for seven people and enough computer gadgetry to function as a small Goog

Avert your eyes! My Sunday morning look at incompetency, corruption and policy failures: • My High-Flying Life as a Corporate Spy Who Lied His Way to the Top : I was just looking to make rent when I stumbled into a part-time gig stealing secrets from Wall Street elite. I made millions once I realized how desperate we humans are for someone who will actually listen. ( Narratively ) • How a Brazen Plot to Rig Oil Auctions Cost Venezuela Billions : America’s best-known lawyer, a couple of fraudste
I pay close attention to the language business leaders and economists use and pick up on shifts as they happen. By shift, I mean that very often you will see a word or phrase creep into the commentary of several people at the same time, almost as if they are all reading from the same pre-approved script.

A reader asks: I just read Nick’s latest and I’m feeling a bit ashamed. Nick is awesome and Just Keep Buying is my investment motto. I’m 34, my wife is 28 and, not to brag, we make ~$590k a year with a net worth of ~$1.2 million. We max out our 401ks and take the employer match (~$55k / year) and we also save between $20k-$40k, if not more. Our savings rate in my monthly budget is about 24%.
I have been putting together my Q2 quarterly client call, and impatiently waiting for two last data points to show: State Coincident Indicators and Q1 GDP. Together they paint a fascinating picture of an economy robust enough to withstand the fastest set of rate increases in history, but also one that is showing signs of slowing. ( Crosscurrents of these types are not uncommon in a world that is rife with shades of grey… ) GDP for the first quarter of 2023 was 1.1% – lower than Wall Street
In this blog post, we will explore the taxation of stock options and provide an overview of how it works. Stock options are a common form of compensation for employees, particularly in startup companies. They give employees the option to purchase company stock at a predetermined price, allowing them to share in the company’s success as its value increases over time.

I have a confession to make. I’ve never read a book that changed my life. I know a lot of thought leaders and influencers who make top 10 lists of the books that supposedly changed their life but it’s never happened for me.1 I’ve had some good teachers over the years but never any professors in high school or college that had a lasting impact on my life.
If you spend any time with FinTV – even if it’s muted in the background – you would have been treated to a debate as to “ Are we in a new bull market? ” or not. Sometimes it’s phrased as “ Is the bear market over? ” I believe this is the wrong way to think about bull and bear markets. We have previously discussed ( see this , this , this , and this ) why the 20% bull/bear frame of reference is simply noisy nonsense.
When I work with advisors to grow their businesses, we always start with assessing their email list. Email is still the bread and butter of marketing. But if you’re not growing your email list, it’s probably shrinking due to a small number of people unsubscribing each month. Here are my tips for growing your email list, as well as two videos to show how to add people to your email list in both Constant Contact and MailChimp!

Some of my advisor clients are incredibly successful on Facebook, and for some it’s a waste of time. What’s the difference? Demographics. Facebook marketing is not for everyone. In fact, our own Facebook business page is not a core focus of our marketing efforts because most of our target prospects are more active on LinkedIn. But for advisors with retired, predominantly female, or younger target audiences, Facebook can be the most cost-effective way to get in front of new prospects (often less

In the never-ending battle of market narratives, new ideas get introduced and old ideas are resurrected as necessary. One of the most persistent criticisms of US equities has been how narrow the gains have been, driven primarily by mega-cap tech stocks. You probably know variations of this argument as “ FAANMG! ” There is some truth to the claim that the biggest companies have been pulling markets along; YTD cap-weighted indices are substantially outperforming equal weight.

I recently had the pleasure of representing XYPN at the Kingdom Advisor Conference in Orlando, Florida, and FPA National in Seattle, Washington. The post-COVID, in-person energy was undeniable. People were happy to gather and were proud of their work. Personally, what struck me was that nearly every person I met had either heard about XYPN or was interested in learning more about our impact.
By Antoinette Tuscano While there’s nothing comical for financial advisors about attracting prospects, you can use comic books to capture their attention on social media. A sample from one of the comics Glen Winata uses on Instagram to explain insurance and related concepts. As part of a social media marketing strategy, 10-year MDRT member Glen Alexander Winata , of Jakarta Selatan, Indonesia, hired an illustrator to create several comic books to easily explain insurance and financial products t
