Jessup Wealth Management

JWM's comprehensive September Market Update just hit inboxes. Here's what it had to say about the state of the market: equities rebounded in August, historically one of the weakest months of the year. The S&P 500 gained 2.6%, the Nasdaq climbed 3.9%, and every major index finished in positive territory.

The market has largely ignored the usual seasonal pattern this year, and the fundamental backdrop remains strong. Most companies are beating both earnings and revenue estimates.

A few catalysts are still ahead this fall, including a CPI report and Fed meetings, so some near term volatility wouldn't be unusual. Our investment thesis hasn't changed.

Advisory services are offered through Jessup Wealth Management, an SEC Registered Investment Advisor.

Is the national debt really at record levels? Mark looks at the number that tells the real story: interest payments as a percentage of federal spending.

Right now that's about 16%.

The average since 1947 is 15%.

We've heard "debt crisis" warnings for 20 years, and this measure has spent much of that time below average. Give it a watch to see why this isn't a top concern right now.

New episode alert! Episode 365 of The Independent Advisors Podcast is out now. Give it a listen on YouTube or your favorite streaming service.

This week, Aaron and Nick cover a lot of ground, including what's going on with the bond market and Treasury yields, why the "US debt crisis" headlines might be overblown, and a look back at the history of the 401(k).

In 1983, less than 20% of Americans owned stocks. Today it's over 60%.

Our hosts this week also discuss proposed changes that could modernize how retirement account rollovers work, including a possible end to paper checks.

Give it a listen and let us know what you think!

"Dad, is it a bear market?"

New episode is live! 🎙️

Growing up in an entrepreneurial household, Matt Jessup's kids figured out something no one taught them: when dad's in a bad mood, it's usually the market's fault. On this week's podcast, Rachel and Matt open up about what it was really like in the early days and how it has evolved, building Jessup Wealth Management, as a couple, as parents, and as newlyweds thrown straight into the deep end.

· Engaged, married, and going independent … all in the same crazy year (2009)
· Doing the job of 13 people … while renovating a house and answering every phone call themselves
· "I felt like I was drowning … everyone needed a life preserver, and nobody had one."
· Work talk used to mean frustration. Now it means integration, and it's just part of life.

And through all the ups and downs, JWM has never laid off a single employee … even through the toughest years.
The secret? Hire for character, not resume. Trust each other's strengths. Choose each other, every time.

This one's honest, funny, and a real look at what it takes to build a business, and a marriage, at the same time. You won't want to miss it! Matthew Jessup & Rachel Jessup
