Inflation: Some Good News
By the time you read this next piece, you will have no doubt heard about the higher than expected inflation numbers that continue to disrupt financial markets. The Consumer Price Index rose again to a new high. But what you may not have read, is that the there are some areas of the economy where prices are cooling off a bit, specifically durable goods, which could potentially be a sign of a peak in inflation. Of course time will tell, but if you have any questions at all, do not hesitate to reach out to your advisor.

How Long Do Bear Markets Last?
Believe it or not, although it's been some time, bear markets do occur and it's important to look at things from a historical perspective to allow you to stay focused on your long term financial plan.

Safety: When Is It Too Hot For Exercise?
As we continue with our "safety" theme for the month of June, this week we have a look at staying safe while exercising. We all know the benefits of staying healthy and active, but with the summer months now upon us, you need to ensure you are taking the proper steps before getting your workouts in on hot days and at times, even consider skipping the outdoors and complete your routine inside.
