Another windy day...let's move on from that (arrrgg)...

If you've been thinking about your insurance coverages and need to buy more or review what you have, many of the companies are allowing clients to apply for coverage without medicals. Watch this video to see how a sampling of the companies are working with clients to make this process easy.

Hi!

As the social distancing rules continue to be in force, I am going to continue to work from home. The video will update you on my office hours etc.

Please click on the video for a brief update on my decision to continue to work from home, at least until the end of May.

I will continue to monitor developments and keep you all updated. Stay well and safe everyone.

Have a great Thursday and stay well!

Hello everyone!

As I sit here on this quiet Sunday, after shoveling this "wonderful" dump of snow in mid-March, doing some laundry and reading small snippets of updates about the virus, the markets, etc on the news, I've decided we are going to implement our own strategies around my office to help contain whatever might be lurking around us.

The coronavirus or COVID-19 has officially done what the markets absolutely hate. It's created uncertainty and volatility and 'turmoil'. In case you didn't know, markets HATE uncertainty.

I have read and was told a long time ago that the bank works for the bank. Bank employees are often awarded for the amount of assets that they bring through the doors and I wonder sometimes if people understand that not always are they doing what's in your best interest. I have examples.

I had one of my mutual fund reps tell me this today. I immediately said to him "oh my! I hope you get better soon. And...I hope you had a great financial advisor like me, who sold you disability insurance!"
 

He came back to me and said "I wish!" ...

It's been a while! Sorry for the long time and not blogging. Now that I have a marketing assistant helping me (Rachelle), I got the reminder from her this afternoon "you have to write your weekly blog now"! You should be seeing more of these. :)
