This week, after making gains immediately following the midterm elections, US indexes saw a sharp downturn amidst investor concerns about potential deceleration of AI development and data center buildouts.

Should this change your investing plan?

Short-term swings shouldn’t change your long-term goals. Trying to avoid every dip often means missing the rebounds that can follow.

The important thing to remember?

The market over time has always recovered.

And counterintuitively, low vacancy rates can mean landlords are actually more willing to sign short-term tenants like Spirit.

Are you part of the Sedanaissance?

While everyone’s now talking about flying cars, you might recall that flightless EVs—and waitlists for them—were the hot ticket in 2025.

This year, with gas prices up more than 40%, another trend has evolved. Sales of large trucks and SUVs are slowing while sedans like the Mazda3 and Honda Accord are the hottest vehicles on the market.
