October starts Q4

Thursday, September 4, 2025

Can September defy it's own trend?

Monday, August 4, 2025

It was nice to see our third up month for the S&P 500 and leading us to more record highs in July. Sometimes this type of complacency can lead to major swings in the markets. This is where a piece of bad news might send the markets...

Tuesday, March 4, 2025

Feb failed us. Will March save us?

Monday, February 3, 2025

We had an outstanding start to 2025 with January bringing the S&P500 up by over 2% and the US Aggregate Bond Index up over 0.50%. In a perfect world for me, every month would give us those returns! We are still bouncing around those...

2025 is here!!!

Wow in November!!!

Monday, November 4, 2024

Welcome to November! It’s been an incredible year so far for the S&P500 with it up around 20%. Bonds are still struggling with the aggregate bond index down about 1%. Hopefully another rate cut or two will spur the bond market a bit....

Happy New Year! What a year, what year, what a year...

Tuesday, December 5, 2023

November comes through to push the S&P500 to the yearly high! It sure was an incredible month with the S&P500 up 8.9% and the US Aggregate Bond Index up over 3%.  We even officially vacated the correction that we were in after...

Happy Fourth of July!

Thursday, June 1, 2023

Summer sure does know how to hit us in Wisconsin.  We went from about 65 to 90 in the last week.  That’s the type of volatility you can only love with weather not investments.  Speaking of volatility, I found May...

Monday, May 1, 2023

April gave us a welcoming upside before the Fed decides on interest rates this week.  All eyes will be on the language they use when announcing the rate update.  Investors will be wondering whether the Fed is happy where...

Monday, April 3, 2023

I’m not sure we could’ve asked for a better ending to the first quarter this year.  With January off to a rocket of a start, then February flailing around, THEN March closing the quarter with the S&P500 up 7% and the...

February flails as investors struggle with the battle between corporate earnings and Fed-speak

Wednesday, February 1, 2023

Greetings!The wintery change was no match for the hot January markets.  January saw the S&P 500 up over 6% and the Bloomberg Aggregate Bond Index was up over 3%!  The market MIGHT just be closer to “normalizing”...

August Being August

Monday, August 1, 2022

Let me bullet point some of the headlines we saw in July before going into the commentary.- Well it’s official…we’ve had two consecutive quarters of GDP contraction, which puts us in a technical recession as noted...

Wednesday, June 29, 2022

A bear market is officially here thanks largely to stubbornly high inflation. For many of us, it has probably felt like a bear market for a while now, but the S&P 500 Index didn’t close more than 20% below its January 3 record...
