Hi, I’m Michael Ruger. I’m the managing partner of Greenbush Financial Group and the creator of the nationally recognized Money Smart Board blog .

Toward the end of 2022 and for the first half of this year, many economics and market analysts were warning investors of a recession starting within the first 6 months of 2023. Despite those widespread warnings, the S&P 500 Index is up 16% YTD as of July 3, 2023, notching one of the strongest 6-month starts to a year in history. So why have so many people been wrong about their prediction and off by so much?

While a lot of investors are asking if inflation has peaked, there is a more importnat question they should be asking which will have a bigger impact on our path forward…….
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine continues to add uncertainty to global markets. It’s left investors asking the following questions:
The markets have experienced an intense selloff in the first three weeks of 2022. As of January 21st, the S&P 500 Index is down over 7% for the month. There are only a few times in the past 10 years that the index has dropped by more the 5% in a single month. That begs the questions, “After those big monthly declines, historically, what happens next?”
The inflation fears are rising in the market and we are releasing this video to help you to better understand how inflation works and the impact that is has on stock, bonds, and cash.
The trade negotiations between the U.S. and China have been the center of the stock market’s attention for the past 6 months. One day it seems like they are close to a deal and then the next day both countries are launching new tariffs against each other. While many investors in the U.S. understand the trade wars from the vantage point of the United
