Why Feeling Terrible about the Economy can be Good News for Your Money

Americans have never felt this bad about the economy. The most recent "consumer sentiment index" cratered to its lowest level since data collection began in the 1970s. But as Luke explains to Erin, this could actually be good news for your investments.

Recent Market Declines

On this Market Watch, I wanted to give some insight to the current market decline with this being the 24 inter-year market pullback of 10% or more since 1980. This market sell-off has dropped the S&P forward price to earnings ratio to ~16.5, bringing it in line or slightly below the 25-year average.

Market Sell Off

April was a tough month for investors: the S&P 500 fell 8.8%, the Dow declined nearly 5%, and the Nasdaq retreated more than 13%. As experts discuss the possibility of a recession, our team at Eikenberry is being proactive, stress testing portfolios and working to minimize volatility for our clients.

Retirement Withdrawal Rates - Is the 4% Rule Outdated?

You've probably heard the headlines: the 4% Rule doesn't cut it anymore: retirees need to be more conservative. But of course, as Luke explains to Erin, it's more complicated than that.
