Dividend ETFs look similar… but they’re built very differently. • VYM → broad, steady income • SCHD → quality + dividend growth • SPYD → higher yield (more risk) • DGRO → consistent dividend growers Chasing the highest yield isn’t always the smartest move. Growth +...

Four consecutive weeks of outflows from gold ETFs. This will go down as one of the best opportunities to add to gold at historically oversold levels in my view. Bottoms are always a process, and I do believe we are in the...
$3.8M spread across six accounts. He thought he was 40% equities. He was actually 85%. He called me because something felt off. Turns out, he'd never seen all his money in one place before.
