It’s important to disconnect every once in a while and recharge the batteries. I will be out of the office tomorrow, so Top Links will be back on Monday! It’s time for our annual canoe trip in NY on the Delaware River. Have a great weekend!
Here’s what I’ve been reading this morning:
‘Social Security Decisions’ – Tom Mullooly – Jersey Shore Financial Advisor
- In Tom’s latest post he writes about the difficult decisions surrounding Social Security. We hear a lot of similar responses from people about why they want to claim early, so Tom addresses those points.
‘Modern Market Cap Theory’ – Michael Batnick – The Irrelevant Investor
- We’re in a market environment right now where the big stocks are getting WAY bigger. Michael takes a look at the absolute biggest names in the market, and compares them to the market cap of the rest of the S&P 500 index.
‘On the Other Hand’ – Jonathan Clements – Creative Planning
- Jonathan breaks down five asset classes an investor could choose from, and where they currently stand in 2020. From US large cap stocks, to small caps, to foreign stocks, to bonds, he breaks it down.
‘A Retirement Readiness Checklist’ – Christine Benz – Morningstar
- “Am I ready to retire?” is a big question. Christine recommends breaking it down into smaller bite-size questions. In her latest post, she addresses a few smaller questions to answer that can help you determine your readiness for retirement.
ENJOY!
