I don’t know if Nick Saban, the head football coach at the University of Alabama, is the greatest college football coach ever, but he’s certainly one of the best. He is well known for not focusing on results, but rather on what he calls The Process. There’s no mention of titles. Instead, his message has […]

From time to time, we come across client situations where a significant portion of their liquid net worth (and total net worth) is tied up in either one stock or in just a handful of them. This can be a challenging problem, because often there are company ties, inheritances from family members, and often, very […]

In the last two months, the stock market has been sending different messages than what investors were seeing most of 2017.  In early February, stocks finished a nearly 11% drop in just 9 trading days.  In last month’s update, we presented data which suggested there was likely going to be another leg down, probably to […]

In this edition of TABR’s quarterly newsletter, we’re presenting research on indexes in the various categories (large stocks, mid-caps, small and international), and some of our findings are interesting. In some areas, you’ll find it really pays to be discerning. In addition, we’ll touch on the three-year anniversary of TABR’s Dividend Stock strategy, the 2018 […]

Today we’re introducing a document that we call the TABR Year in the Life. We originally created this page because we came to the realization that many of our valued clients still don’t know about many of the services we offer. In order to create our Year in the Life document, Bob, Mary, Sylvia and […]

This past week, a large number of stock market indexes continued to march to new price highs. We’ll show you that in many ways, the market remains in a healthy uptrend. We should enjoy it while it lasts. I’ve also included a column from long time Los Angeles Times sportswriter Jim Murray. When you read […]

Given my passion for professional and college baseball, you might think I am about to tell you about the feats of Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees, or Giancarlo Stanton of the Miami Marlins, the current leading home run hitters in the American and National Leagues.
