Recession Proof Your Assets?
With some of the headlines today forecasting a recession, what steps can you take to prepare in the event that one does occur? The answer to this question is not so easy though. Depending on your age and time horizon to eventual retirement, will help determine what you can be doing now. Below are a few suggestions broken down by age brackets.

Companies Winning Despite Sour Economy
Sometimes, it’s a good idea to get a second opinion.
And this may be one of those times.
Government reports are telling a rather bleak story about the economy.
The headlines talk about high inflation, rising interest rates, and a possible recession. But corporations are telling a more upbeat, optimistic story about business conditions.
Aside from a few high-profile misses, most companies have been checking in with solid second-quarter reports in the past few weeks.
Through July 22, FactSet reported that 68% of S&P 500 companies reported positive earnings surprises, and 65% reported a positive revenue surprise.
We are always encouraged about the economy whenever we see businesses enjoying success. While macroeconomic trends are still a steady headwind, corporate America seems to be sailing straight and true. As always, if you have any questions, do not hesitate to reach out.
