A replay of our July 28, 2021 webinar discussing 4 new tax changes and what you can do to prepare, plus a review of Q2 market and economic headlines.
The second quarter built on much of the encouraging economic progress we saw in the first quarter. States moved to being nearly fully open, markets advanced, and we learned more about probable tax reforms.
The first quarter of 2021 brought continued economic recovery, gains in markets, and the COVID-19 vaccine is being rapidly administered, bringing hope that we’re approaching post-pandemic times. Let’s look at common questions we encountered this quarter.
Will the 2020 pandemic stimulus cause significant inflation? Let’s look at what inflation is and what causes it, how money supply increases like federal stimulus affect it, and where we are now.
A replay of our January 27, 2021 webinar discussing 2020 lessons learned, the Biden tax plan, and what we expect in 2021.
2020 presented many challenges, but also opportunities and lessons learned. As we turn the page and look to 2021, we’ll look at 2020 lessons learned and what to expect in 2021.
Thanks to all who attended this week's webinar. We were glad to host Carolyn Szaflik, Portfolio Specialist at Morningstar Investment Management, for a discussion on the market so far this year, possible impacts of the upcoming election, and the opportunities in today's market.

Turn on the TV or scroll through a news feed in uncertain times and you’re sure to see that nasty “R” word - Recession. “How bad will this be?” “How long will this last?” It’s not uncommon to hear, “This one is different!” or “We’ve never seen this problem before!” So, what does history have to tell us about this topic?
We don’t see this as the next Great Depression. Why? Well, historically, major economic downturns have different causes, but one common thread separates the Great Depression from each subsequent recession and recovery.
Thanks to all who attended our webinar on 4/29!

For anyone who wasn't able to participate, we've made this replay available. We hope you find it helpful!
