Tesla’s stock fell as it indicated it was willing to trade profits for market power. The larger banks showed strength, but many analysts are waiting for earnings reports from a few large tech names. Just a few tech companies have driven the S&P’s surge so far this year. Will their success continue? Annex Wealth Management’s Dave Spano and Derek Felske discuss.

2 | Poll Recap

In a world where all the information in the world can be found at the tip of your fingers, it can be hard to discern which messages to listen to. Finding advice on how to prepare for retirement is no different.  

Last week we asked our retired subscribers what they wish they had known prior to retiring.  

Here are some of your responses:  

“Establish with a planner as soon as possible. We did it 10 years before retiring, but sooner would have been better.” 

“Retirement/financial ‘thinking’ doesn’t stop when you retire. You must evaluate and adjust balances every year going forward.” 

“How important having a ‘what will I do with my time?’ plan is in addition to a financial plan.” 

“Do ‘stuff’ early in retirement! We were too conservative/frugal early in retirement; now at our current age, our health prohibits extensive travel and other activities.” 

Annex Wealth Management is honored you chose us to help prepare your future. We’re proud of the many ways we can serve and educate you. If you find yourself with any questions, our team is here to help.
