The 2026 Family Color Fun Run & 5k was the perfect reminder of the power of community, human kindness, and a little color. All proceeds stayed local to support the children’s programs at the Chico Salvation Army Community Center.

We were proud to support as a Color Blast sponsor and take part in such an energetic event. Thank you to everyone for helping make the day so special!

Grateful for an incredible day on the course ⛳️

Thank you to Swing Fore Cesar & Law Enforcement Mental Health Awareness for organizing this event and continuing to advocate for mental health. It was inspiring to see the community come together for such an important and critical cause.

It was an honor to have joined you, and the Sweeney & Michel team look forward to supporting you in the future.

Our latest blog post: The biggest story in markets last week was the steep drop in software and internet stocks. Recent earnings beats averaged +6.5%, yet the “Magnificent 7” companies like Microsoft, Amazon, and Google got rewarded with a stock beatdown.

As all parents of siblings know, there comes a time when the firstborn stops seeing the second child as ‘cute’ and instead views them as a threat. Internet 1.0 companies are acting similarly; ChatGPT was fun in its infancy, but this year it turns 4 years old. AI is shaking up every industry.

You have to wonder whether legacy tech disruptors themselves are going to be victims of this new wave of disruption.

‘Twas the day before Christmas
And all through the firm
Not a market was stirring
The gains are long term

The markets are closed,
Trading is done
Advisors are home
Holidays have begun!

Our team here at Sweeney & Michel wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and happy holidays! We are closing early today and will be closed for Christmas. But don’t worry we will see you for regular hours Friday morning! Don’t forget to put the cookies out tonight! Merry Christmas!🎄
