I hope this finds you and your family doing well and having a fun summer!

Speaking of having fun, the markets sure haven’t been so far this year. The S&P 500 compounded at 24% per year in 2019, 2020 and 2021. At some point, that pace cannot continue and 2022 seems to be the year it changes.

I have access to a conference call every business morning with the Research Team at LPL to talk about current events and how it relates to the global economy and financial markets. Today, I’m sharing a look inside those calls with the newly released Midyear Outlook 2022: Navigating Turbulence from the Research Team. It’s designed to help assess conditions over the second half of the year and alert us to challenges that may still lay ahead. 

The path to financial independence is filled with many twists and turns. However, the straightest path continues to be employing sound decision making combined with a financial planning and proactive investment management strategy.

I believe in having 100% open lines of communication with confidential ears to listen and talk about anything that’s on your mind. Please feel free to reach out any time you have questions. We can connect via phone, Zoom or meet in person. If you have a loved one or friend that needs someone to listen and talk with about their financial planning and investment management, please share my contact information.

In the end, the vibrancy of life usually has much more in store for us than we can imagine for ourselves. We just have to be there to experience it. The easiest way to be there financially, is to simply to control what we can control.  We focus on living the best quality of life we can given our unique parameters and remain positive. The rest will take care of itself, it always does.

It is a privilege to be of service to you and your family, thank you!

Best,
