Newsletter

The weekly newsletter, issue by issue

A short read each week: what the S&P 500, Dow and Nasdaq did, a planning note or two, and an answer to a question people are actually asking. Educational, never a product pitch.

  1. Week 41, 2026

    Two elections that are hard to undo, and where a firm lists its minimum

    Why enrollment and deferred comp elections are hard to undo, how California treats HSA contributions, and where an adviser must disclose its minimum account size.

  2. Week 40, 2026

    Year-end items that are easier to fix in October

    Why October is the cheaper month to fix year-end money items: a 401(k) limit trap for job changers, the new charitable floor, and a Roth conversion deadline.

  3. Week 39, 2026

    The forms that lock in next year, and this week's markets

    The week's closing index levels, a year-end wash sale trap for RSU holders, pension lump sum versus annuity, private bank thresholds, and 2027 HSA limits.
