Stopping Future Mistakes – Running to Third Base
Will Fed Raise Interest Rates? Don’t Follow the Doomed Frogs
A couple of summers ago, my family was vacationing in Woodloch Springs in Hawley, Pennsylvania. It happened to be a particularly hot stretch of summer weather. It was stifling and they had to bring out cold cloths to the golfers to prevent them from being overwhelmed by the heat. This allowed me to have yet another […]
Not the Traditional David Letterman “Top Ten” List
This guest post is written by Jim Parker who works for our partner Dimensional Fund Advisors (DFA) in Australia. Jim has created a Top 10 list of excuses that we have all fallen victim to at some point while investing. Unfortunately, this list is not as funny as David’s nightly list used to be, but […]

We often help our clients through an array of situations that involve uncertainty resulting in fear. They are aware that there are risks that could foil their success in achieving all that they want for themselves, their families, and their communities at large.

Between You and the Big Mistake
I remember when I was young and I loved school. So much so that I would play school at home, pretending to have homework assignments, story time and of course recess. I was quite fanatical about keeping all of my notebooks neat and organized. I preferred writing with pencils because it you made a mistake, […]
Using the Treadmill to Financial Success
Our central philosophy on investing is that the most important determinant of one’s lifetime investment returns is one’s own behavior. However, when most people hear that I am a retirement income planner or financial planner, they begin to discuss how the current markets are doing or ask my opinion on a particular stock or mutual […]
5 Behavioral Biases and the Investment Implications
We have consistently written about the significant role people have on their own investment performance. I decided in this post to add a video to mix up the delivery, but not the message. The attached video is from our partner, Dimensional Fund Advisors (DFA), and as we are a strong advocate for investing by capturing exposure to […]
