You Can't Get There From Here

Submitted by WWA Planning & Investments on September 25th, 2019

We’re all familiar with today’s title but when I tried to track down its actual roots, I became confused. According to multiple websites, it relates to a farmer in Maine trying to give a traveler directions to town.

Submitted by WWA Planning & Investments on August 28th, 2019

Kenny Rogers made Don Schlitz’ song The Gambler famous back in the late 1970’s. If you recall the lyrics, the old gambler tells the young one that you have to know when to hold your cards and also when to fold them.

Shakespeare in Retirement

Submitted by WWA Planning & Investments on July 3rd, 2019

This morning I’m thinking of the delightful 1998 movie Shakespeare in Love. It involves a poor, unknown playwright named Will who falls in love with the far-out-of reach daughter of a wealthy merchant.

It's 2019. Do You Know What Your Mutual Fund Fees Are?

Submitted by WWA Planning & Investments on March 13th, 2019

As Robert Heinlein famously shared: There ain’t no such thing as a free lunch. At the time he was writing, some bars sold lunch to patrons, others provided a ‘free’ lunch to theirs.

WWA or WSJ?

Submitted by WWA Planning & Investments on January 2nd, 2019

Care to guess the name of the newspaper I’ve read virtually every day for the past 45 years? Since I live in the world of business, you might not be surprised that it’s the Wall Street Journal.

Chicken Little, News Anchor

Submitted by WWA Planning & Investments on November 29th, 2018

 

Sometimes in the past I’ve suggested that a current or historical figure might have made a good financial planner but today I’m looking at a different theme – people who get excited for no real reason.

 

Do any of these phrases sound familiar?

• Stock market rout

• Beaten-up stocks

What's In A Name?

Submitted by WWA Planning & Investments on September 5th, 2017

Basically (Part 1)......

Submitted by WWA Planning & Investments on September 30th, 2016

Basically (Part 2)......

Submitted by WWA Planning & Investments on September 29th, 2016

If an investor decides that stock ownership seems like a workable strategy for making money over time, how does she or he decide which company to become an owner of, i.e. which stock to purchase? Choices abound. There are shares of around 8,000 companies currently available on US exchanges and at least that many more on foreign exchanges.
