Does anyone else remember the Matthew McConaughey Lincoln commercials, littered with pithy one-liners? I, for one, will never forget this marketing campaign. For those who haven't seen these precious gems, I'd describe them as a blend of a luxury car commercial, a famous actor, and the movie Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
The election results are in: how will that impact your investments?
With the sweeping changes in DC, the short-term outlook is bound to shift. How does this affect your financial plan and long-term goals? As frustrating as it may seem, the impact is likely minimal. Long-term returns on asset classes should remain stable, and while the global stock market may not…

Saying goodbye to April shouldn't be difficult this year after yesterday's downbeat session in the stock market. This was the first month of negative returns for the stock market since October of last year. The stock market slump may come as a surprise as markets digested stronger-than-expected corporate earnings from the first quarter.

2023 was a year that defied expectations, showcasing the unpredictable nature of financial markets and the power of innovation in technology.

NWP Monthly Digest | July 2023
As we commemorate Independence Day, it is important to reflect on the struggles, sacrifices, and unity that were instrumental in securing our nation's freedom. Additionally, let us delve into the profound significance of one of the oldest financial instruments still in use today: bonds. Bonds, also known as “debt,” or “fixed income” investments…

May is an eventful month on Wall Street, with the release of first-quarter earnings reports and a Federal Reserve meeting scheduled for tomorrow. Investors are anticipating a 25 basis point rate hike as the Core PCE Index, the Fed's preferred inflation gauge, was recently reported at 4.6% - well above the Fed's target of 2%.

2022 was an unprecedented year for the stock and bond markets, and nobody expected an easy 2023 to follow. The dichotomy between the market fundamentals and the economic data is enough to make anyone reevaluate their investment strategy. When was the last time you took a second look at your portfolio?
NWP Monthly Digest | January 2023
Stocks closed out 2022 with a whimper, as major indexes suffered their worst year since 2008. Is Santa real? The stock market doesn’t seem to think so. The infamous “Santa Claus Rally” never came, but that didn’t stop the Arctic temperatures from freezing Denver. On December 22nd, Denver temperatures were the coldest it has been since 1990.
NWP Monthly Digest | November 2022
I hope everyone enjoyed Halloween! My son dressed up as a dragon and went trick-or-treating for the first time. Someone asked me if he knew what it all meant? I remember thinking, I don’t even know why people trick-or-treat or dress up for Halloween! If you are like me, maybe you will enjoy learning the concept of trick-or-treating has roots…

The Autumn Equinox will be observed on September 22nd this year. Of course, this marks the first day of fall. September is a month when temperatures and leaves begin falling. Coincidentally, the month of September has also been the worst month for the U.S. stock market with an average loss of 1% going back to 1928.

How’s everyone holding up out there?
Hard to believe, but today is May 1st. There has been but one thing on everyone’s mind for what feels like the entire year, and not much progress has been made toward a resolution.
A New Year, A New Outlook
In a stark contrast to the investment returns of 2018, 2019 flew out of the gate and never looked back. In 2019, it was difficult to find an asset class that did not perform well. Baron Rothschild once said, “Buy when there's blood in the streets, even if the blood is your own.” There was blood in the streets heading into 2019. Global…
Are Financial Advisor Fees Worth It?
Like any service, advisors can be considered expensive or cheap depending on the value they provide. Paying $3,000 for generic financial advice from a salesperson that manages 300 clients is a waste of money. Having said that, a top Certified Financial Planner that manages no more than 70 clients who charges $6,000 might end up saving…
What Keeps Me up at Night?
We often ask our clients, “What keeps you up at night?” I often wonder if our clients are curious what keeps us up at night? I would suspect they would think it is a recession, political risk, or some variation of those two. Last night, I…
The Stock Market's 2018 Rope-A-Dope
If Muhammad Ali was an investment strategist, he may have said, “An investor that views the stock market in 2018 as they did in 2017 has wasted thirty years of market data.” At Noble Wealth Partners, do we view 2019 as we did in 2018?
Did Your Advisor Put a Debt-Bomb in Your Portfolio?
In late 2016, I joined a financial advisory practice located inside a high-rise building in the heart of the Denver Tech Center. Within my first few months I found out the top clients of the practice had allocated an imprudent amount of their wealth to different BDC (Business Development Companies) vehicles. These vehicles were born from yield-
A Randemic Impacting Millions
Today, we are facing a retirement savings pandemic - a “Randemic.” But why? You work, you save, you retire. Simple….right? Well - not exactly. To save for our retirement, we have to fight the urge to spend our money as we earn it, and defer the enjoyment of our hard-earned money in hopes that our
