For ages, we’ve rung bells to mark significant moments.   In medieval times, bells alerted residents of storms, fires, wars and other events, and for centuries church belfries have invited congregants to gather in worship or prayer.  It’s had its place in markets too—for the last 150 years a ringing bell has marked the opening and…

Good Morning and Happy Friday! A couple weeks ago we touched on what an extraordinary year 2020 was for many different reasons. Of particular note has been the extraordinary “rise to the occasion” of you, our clients and friends of the firm, as many have stepped forward with generosity and care for others. Despite all…

Extraordinary is an apt, though perhaps too kind, word for 2020.  I’m sure we all could come up with a few choice words to describe the past twelve months.  It certainly wasn’t ordinary and it had plenty of “extra”, so I guess we’ll go with that one for now.  Extraordinary is also a good description…

We are still in this together.  Even as we woke to an uncertain election outcome, that’s our overwhelming feeling and encouragement to you this morning. We say this well aware of current reality.  Votes will likely be counted for days still and the courts may even be involved in deciding the outcome.  It’s clear, as…

“Sail forth—steer for the deep waters only” – Walt Whitman I recently read “The Shallows” by Nicholas Carr, a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize ten years ago and for me it couldn’t have been more timely as we head into the breathless media coverage of the upcoming election. A mash up of brain science and…

Greetings from the Tschetter Group on this last official day of summer.

Greetings! For those of you whom I have not yet had the pleasure of meeting , my name is Amy Burry and I started with Tschetter Group a couple months back. It has been wonderful to meet so many of you either over the phone or by email since I arrived. You have made me feel…

Like most Tuesday mornings I arrived into the office a little after 7am and began my day diving into the market, covering items with the team, and talking to a few clients and prospects. As I was picking up the phone mid-morning, I saw my significant other, SarahRose, calling the main office. My eyes lit…

Warm summer greetings! Some days it feels like six months and some days six years, but we are indeed now just over halfway through this historic year of 2020. So much for perfect (20/20) vision. Who could’ve guessed what life and the market would’ve presented to us in the coming months when we welcomed this new year and decade back in January?

First of all, let us start by saying we hope this finds you healthy and well. A clear silver lining to this topsy turvy market environment is that we’ve been in frequent touch. Hopefully you’ve found our  weekly letters  helpful and we’ve very much enjoyed the recent phone calls and emails where we get to hear how…
