A Dose of Financial Planning to Treat Your Powerball Fever

Lotto TicketAs you’ve inevitably heard, the Powerball Jackpot soared beyond record levels this week, maxing out every sign in America with a balance of $1.5 Billion dollars, and after Wednesday’s drawing, three people will split the prize. The hype around the 2016 Powerball grew with every round there wasn’t a winner, even though your chances at winning weren’t improving with each round. Whether or not you choose to play the Powerball or any lottery drawing, there are a few relevant financial concepts to contemplate in light of the chaos. Indulge with us as we chronicle the roller coaster ride of financial decisions you must make when you decide to purchase a lotto ticket.

In Case You Missed It: The China Syndrome

3D Market Going UpAs we entered the fourth trading day of 2016, world stock markets seemed to have a bad case of nerves with much of the turmoil resulting from news about the Chinese economy. As you know, we don’t believe that what happens in the markets on a day-to-day or month-to-month basis carries any real information, dominated as it is by the “noise” of the daily news cycle. Nonetheless, the predictably dramatic headlines prompted us to share a few thoughts and observations regarding the issue from our perspective. And if you’d prefer some lighter reading to take your mind off of the headlines, see our Weekend Chart Challenge for a graphical pop quiz or Facetious Financial News for a satirical video, both of which we feel epitomize the effects of financial “noise”.

Emulating Janus’ Essence

At the beginning of a new year, it is not uncommon for companies to participate in visioning exercises to set goals to tackle the year ahead. In fact, this practice corresponds well with the month of January which is named after the ancient Roman god Janus, a dual-faced god symbolizing beginnings and transitions. At Yeske Buie, our number one focus is always on our work with and for our Clients. In 2015, we had many recognitions and accomplishments that we think reflect well on our ongoing pursuit of excellence. Emulating Janus’ essence, we share a timeline of Yeske Buie’s 2015 Celebrations as an appreciation of 2015 and as an inspiration for 2016 and beyond.
