Hello Reader, Well, it’s been an interesting start to the year here in Los Angeles – to say the least. The wildfires that have decimated several neighborhoods here have impacted pretty much every Angeleno (yes, that’s what we’re called) in some way. We ended up evacuating last week – and while our neighborhood ended up being relatively unscathed, save the lingering air quality issues – it was nonetheless jarring. Of course the events are tragic and my heart goes out to those who have lost so much. And it’s also given me pause to think about where we all go from here. Part of my job as a financial planner is to help folks manage the risks they carry – these events have prompted me to reflect on many things, including:

Hi Reader! I’m not particularly troubled by recent developments in the stock market. And chances are, you shouldn’t be either. To be clear, I AM troubled by much of what the Trump Administration has done, including its unhinged trade “policy.” My personal views notwithstanding, market performance over the past few days isn’t all that unusual. I don’t think it’s accurate (or helpful) to call the stock market reaction a “plunge.” I’m not sure current events are particularly unprecedented....
Hello Reader, I’ve been hearing the same questions from almost everyone I talk to lately: “Is everything going to be ok?” “What should I be doing given the current state of the country?” The start of the Trump Administration has been unprecedented in many ways, creating considerable uncertainty about what lies ahead.

What things do I want to spend less of my limited time and energy on? I’m not huge on new year’s resolutions, but I do want...
