Grateful to my hometown paper for sharing this (and for decades-long friendships)! The article shares some of the backstory and how “Unleash Your Financial Superpowers” came to be.

I’m thankful that Chris Voss invited me to share what I discovered. There are distinct patterns of people who make wealth only to see it dwindle away. Surprisingly, research shows that an estimated 22% of those who reach the $5M networth level will lose that distinction within just 3 years. And, there are patterns of people who make it, multiply it and enjoy it. That’s what Superpowers is about!

Thanks, Chris!

State of the Markets - November 2024

The Nasdaq failed to match its July high while the S&P hit new highs and has formed a pattern we will monitor closely. US equities, while still within the Green Light conditions on our risk zone, are weakening.

The Risk Rating
Looking at the S&P 500 index since 1950, we have discovered key insights:

Red Light Conditions:
▶︎ Red light conditions have existed only about 15% of the time since 1950. However, that 15% of the time accounted for only 1% of the stock market's gains.

▶︎ 99% of market return since 1950 occurred when the S&P was not in Red Light conditions.

▶︎ Virtually every major market correction (including 1987, 1989, 1998, the Dotcom Bust starting in 2000, and the Financial Crisis starting in 2008) occurred after conditions changed from Yellow Light to Red Light conditions.

Having a plan is key to properly managing any situation. We know that no indicator is perfect, past performance doesn’t mean Jack and no strategy guarantees a profit or prevention from loss. A mathematical risk rating helps balance risk by creating a critical exit point for down markets. Our Three Rules of Investing are:
1. Have a Plan for Up Markets
2. Have a Plan for Down Markets
3. Have a Clear Way to Tell the Difference

If you own small company stocks or funds as a semi-permanent part of your portfolio, you’ll won't want to miss this.
