What an incredible way to spend the day! ✈️

Last Friday, our Senior Wealth Advisor Jaymon Meikle visited the 139th Airlift Wing through the St. Joseph Chamber of Commerce Civic Leadership Academy. He had the opportunity to tour the base, take part in hands-on activities, and learn directly from the men and women who keep the wing running.

Experiences like this offer a whole new appreciation for the people serving right here in our community. Thank you to the 139th Airlift Wing for such a memorable day, and for all you do! 🇺🇸

Treasury yields shot higher last week. Stocks basically shrugged.

The S&P 500 gained, the Nasdaq hit new highs, and the economic data still looked pretty solid. Consumers are spending, layoffs remain low, and earnings have held up even as inflation and interest rates stay elevated.

Higher yields still matter. But so far, they haven’t been enough to knock stocks off course.

Tool: Investment Risk Tolerance Survey

Most of us know what we’d like our investments to do over time.
What’s harder to pin down is how much risk we’re actually comfortable taking to get there. That’s where this quick quiz can help.
Take the Investment Risk Tolerance Quiz to get a better sense of how you think about long-term growth and risk:👉https://www.gertsema.net/ -section

Big deficits usually show up when the economy is under stress. That’s what makes the current situation different. 👀

We’re more than five years into an economic expansion, inflation is still elevated, and the federal deficit has already reached about $1.8 trillion with two months left in the fiscal year. Add the huge capital needs of the AI buildout, and there’s a lot of competition for money.

👉 See why that combination is putting more pressure on the cost of capital:
