The cover of the @WSJ this morning asks the question "Is your financial advisor a CFP® professional?” If you want to work with a competent, ethical financial planner, it's worth asking the question. It's Gotta Be A CFP®. @CFPBoard

Congrats to @CFPBoard Ambassador @DougBoneparth. You were masterful poking fun at the Roy family, while delivering the sound financial insight that only a #CFP can provide. It’s wickedly entertaining. Kudos for representing CFPs so well.

"For me, cash is a more appealing inflation hedge than commodities. Although cash will not match the alternatives’ performance if the first scenario transpires, neither does it face the possibility of cratering should a recession loom." Superb JR piece. 👍🏻morningstar.com/articles/109…

What’s a financial expression you hate, and why? I’ll start… “The stock market is like a casino.”🤮 Couldn’t be further from the truth! Stay in a casino long enough and you almost always leave a loser🎲 Stay in the market long enough and you almost always leave a winner!🤑

“The current environment, it just sends you off the charts.” It’s hard to overstate Bill Bengen’s bearishness about the convergence of high equity valuations, low bond yields, and rising inflation for new retirees. @syouth1 and I learned a lot from our recent convo with him.
This week on The Long View podcast, @christine_benz and I chat with the creator of the 4% retirement-spending guideline, Bill Bengen. We discuss the implications of higher inflation, lofty equity valuations, and low yields for new retirees, and much more. spr.ly/6012JvUip

"The Behavior Gap by Carl Richards (@behaviorgap) is such a fun, leisurely read. Carl challenges your thinking about #money rather than the typical advice-driven books. With rain in the forecast, take a read, and let us know what you think!”
