Life is Fleeting


 I don’t know if it is my age or the pandemic, but my social media feed reads like an Obituary Section in the local newspaper.   This week I will examine how we can reduce our regrets. We have a distorted memory of friends after they pass away. What do we miss and why? Our memories are better, but we need to understand how we can use these memories with living friends. Life is fleeting and our understanding of this reality will help us and our living friends. 
 

Our clients and the regulators are fixated on the fees we charge. Many firms hide the fees and make the fallacious claim that their services are free. The fact of the matter is that someone is paying our fees. This reality is something we need to understand. 

Wealth has numerous definitions. Most jump to definitions based on the type of car the person drives and where they live. Snap judgments are often erroneous. We are impressed by money. It requires a self aware person to evaluate where their money came from. 



It’s not the robot -  it is the middleman that should be scared. Technology has displaced the tasks of the middleman. We have realized that we can do the job of the middleman ourselves. This reality is expedited by technology. 


We need to call - NOT text our good friends and tell them how much they mean to us. Don’t wait until they pass away. I wish I would have told my Dad and my friend Dan numerous things.

Wempy Popeye and financial advisors fall for the “I’ll gladly pay pay you tomorrow for a Hamburger today” pitch.  Unfortunately Popeye and and most financial advisors provide their hamburger but seldomly get paid what the firms and Wimpy promise .  Why?  The advisors need the cash and Popeye is gullible.  On Wall Street the deals adjusted when the advisors changed firms looking for a new deal every five to eight years.  The recent Luminous departure shows that the advisory contracts need to be adjusted.  The new contracts are written by experienced firm...

Career Hacks

We are in constant pursuit to be the best we can be in our profession.  Is there a hack to help us?  Some days it feels like others have found one.  The Baby Boomer hack was to be a Doctor, a Lawyer or work for Goldman Sachs.  Millennials believe in the power of social media hacks and that a job at Google is on the Yellow Brick Road.  This week I’ll look at other experts and share my opinion that there isn’t an easy solution to professional success. Academia Those who  can’t do teach and those who can’t teach, teach gym .  Many of the established ideas that guide people in the wealth advisory business where researched in academia.  While their research is credible most academics remain as advisors not a practitioners.   William Sharpe  might be an exception to this rule.  He lost at Long Term Capital but was a recent  winner with Financial Engines .  Resilient and richer. Conferences and Media We...
