Hello, hello! What a couple of weeks we've had, right? There is a lot of uncertainty over the conflicts in Ukraine, resulting in a very volatile time in the investment markets.

Annuities are seen as a strategy to alleviate the stress of running out of money on your retirement, but even they can come up short.

Happy (not so) new year! With February making its presence and spring a couple of weeks away, I wanted to give you guys a market update of our current economic environment.

I thought it was an excellent time to provide an update. I’m not trying to sugarcoat it; the market is experiencing a downturn. However, we saw an incredible rebound on Monday, much like some of the football playoff games of the last weekend.

I want to touch base on things such as the "transitory" inflation, the impact of the omicron variant, and what we can do to protect your accounts against the current economic environment. So click on the button below to know more about those above.

The summer came to a relatively quiet end, with stocks fluctuating in the final weeks of August and energy prices rebounding strongly off the July lows. However, growth continues to lessen as inflation creeps higher, and China's Evergrande situation might have repercussions on the western part of the world.

And in a matter of a blink of an eye, 2022 is just around the corner. And right now, the economy is upturning, unemployment is declining, inflation is rising, interest rates are still low, and the stock market is flourishing from the most recent pullback.

With the clear sight of economic optimism, it is simple for investors to become complacent. But now is not the time for that. Now is the time to be attentive and ensure your investment mix is placed where it needs to be, so you are in a good position for the next crisis.

With the current properties valued at an all-time high, I’m very confident that we just hit the peak of this real estate momentum. Why? After watching the interest rate market and the treasury auctions, the interest rates are finally moving back up. So how can you make the most out of this? I’ll tell you how.

2020 was an incredibly difficult and emotional year for all as the pandemic, among other things, disrupted the economy, plunging it into a deep recession. As I reflect on this period, myself and everyone here at Copley Financial Group, Inc. are grateful for the relationships we have with you.
