On The Markets

Understanding the stock market and economy probably wasn’t on your bucket list when you were a kid, when you graduated high school or even today 😂. And yet there it is, day after day, looming in the background and affecting real life events for you and your family, good and bad. Why’d it go up? When’s it going down? Wait, is “the market” actually much bigger than just 500 US stocks? It’s complicated. And they make it complicated on purpose! On The Markets gives context to complexity. A stock

Is AI Swallowing Your Portfolio?

2025/08/09

Did you know IBM laid off 8000 people in May, essentially handing the bulk of its HR operations to an A.I. chatbot? It’s true, underreported and happening more and more. As we see how A.I. hits the marketplace, it's seeming less a hostile takeover, and more a creeping ground swell. Could it be doing the same to your portfolio?

Is The Market A Spidey Meme?

On The Markets ·

2025/07/19

It's a classic “meme” (the internet’s version of a newspaper cartoon)- an old clip from the Spider-Man cartoon show with two Spider-men (mans?) pointing at each other claiming to be the “real” Spider-Man. It’s been used a million times in meme-land, and make it a million and done because we’re wondering...is the market a Spidey meme? Trump says it’s Powell holding the market back! But then rumors of Powell resigning causes backlash in the market. Who’s really in charge? We take our best guess

If you ever made your own greeting cards or birthday invitations in the 90’s, then you probably used a program called Print Shop Deluxe. Long before Canva or Photoshop, this was what you’d use to make infinite graphics, literally out of thin air. The phrase ‘Print Shop’ popped in our head this week as we thought about...The Fed. Can they ever stop printing? Is the recent market resistance to seemingly catastrophic events simply because the money printers have been turned back on? We’ll
