Fall’s cool air is winding its way through our cities, the leaves are starting to change, and Halloween is already approaching. Come the 31st, you’ll find my wife and I bundled up, handing out candy to the trick-or-treaters of the neighborhood.
I always like to see which character is the most popular costume in a given year. Will it be Taylor Swift? Deadpool or Wolverine? Beetlejuice? We’ll see!
While this season brings its share of chills and thrills, visions of goblins and ghouls aren’t likely what’s keeping you up at night. Volatile markets, inflation, and rising interest rates have created a climate of uncertainty capable of sending shivers down anyone’s spine.
Being in the stock market can feel a little too much like being in a haunted house attraction at times – you never quite know what’s lurking around the corner. One moment, everything’s calm, and the next, your stomach drops.
But here’s the thing: while headlines over market turmoil may terrify you in the short term, a well-planned financial strategy can be your long-term protection.

With the right team behind you, you have the opportunity to stay the course or make smart adjustments when the market dips, while others cower in fear.

CUP OF JOE
From Joe Lucey, Founder of Secured Retirement
There’s something about sitting down with a steaming cup of coffee that always kicks my day into high gear. And it’s not just because of the caffeine it sends coursing through my veins.
Throughout my career, some of my biggest revelations have come to me in conversation with my mentor over a cup of joe. Good conversation and personal connection can pick you up in a special way. It’s that feeling that I’m hoping to bring to you with my series, your Cup of Joe.
