How Advisors Can Guide Clients Through Tariff Uncertainty (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Regardless of who is in the White House in 2029, they’ll inherit the tariff overlay. After over 50 years in this business, I’ve watched the market forget almost everything it has learned the hard way. But it’s not likely to forget tariffs. Tariffs are no longer a policy. They are a structural change in how exporters and importers think about trade. The arguments for tariffs include the benefits of reshoring, reengineering of industrial policy, and reciprocity between trading partners. Each descr
Helping Clients Understand the U.S. Debt Problem (opens the original)
Read excerpt
America's relationship with government debt is what the psychologists call co-dependency. We can’t live with it; we can’t live without it. We know it cannot last forever, but we love the benefits of government debt so much that we can’t leave it behind. After six decades helping families and business owners manage their liabilities and money, I can tell you the first rule of debt: It is future consumption delivered in today’s dollars.

Preparing Social Security Plans Before Congress Acts (opens the original)
Read excerpt

Three Critical Questions for Retirement Conversations (opens the original)
Read excerpt
They’re not easy to ask, and it’s on you to get clients into the right mind-frame to answer honestly. Remember those ING commercials from the early 2000s in which people walked around with a giant hologram of their projected retirement number floating over their head? The ads were memorable because they distilled retirement planning to one figure: the amount of capital someone needs to maintain their lifestyle in the post-working years. Of course, there’s a lot more to retirement math than estim
How the Fed Really Works and What It Means for Clients (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Understanding what the new Federal Reserve means for client conversations. With a new Federal Reserve chairman in place and interest rates likely to stay constant, many clients are likely asking you what the next rate decision means for their mortgage, their bond ladder, their equity allocation and their retirement. While most advisors have the federal funds rate at their fingertips, I’ve found very few who can explain how the Fed actually works, how much it has changed since 2008, and why it ma
