Adam Taggart | Thoughtful Money, Released on 9/22/24

In many ways, investors are dealing with a lot of conflicting signals right now. It seems that nearly every day, we’re seeing signs that the consumer is weakening under the high cost of living, yet financial markets are back trading at all-time highs. Meanwhile the Federal Reserve is telling us the economy is strong, yet it just cut interest rates by 50 basis points, a move we typically only see during times of extreme stress. So..which is it? Should we be preparing for better or worse conditions ahead? To find out, we turn to the experience and wisdom of financial advisor Ted Oakley, managing partner & founder of Oxbow Advisors. Ted has over 40 years experience helping clients, mostly high net worth families, protect and build wealth through good times and bad. We’ll find out how he’s currently positioning his clients assets for the coming year.

Ted Oakley, the founder of Oxbow Advisors and co-founder of its predecessor firm, HPO Advisors, has over thirty-five years of experience in the investment industry. The “Oxbow Principles” and the firm’s proprietary investment strategies were developed as a result of the unique perspective Ted gained throughout his almost four-decade tenure advising high net worth investors.

Adam Taggart is the Founder of Thoughtful Money. He is also Co-Founder and former President of Peak Prosperity. Adam is an experienced Silicon Valley internet executive and Stanford MBA. Prior to partnering with Chris Martenson (Adam was General Manager of our earlier site, ChrisMartenson.com), he was a Vice President at Yahoo!, a company he served for nine years. Before that, he did the ‘startup thing’ (mySimon.com, sold to CNET in 2001). As a fresh-faced graduate from Brown University in the early 1990s, Adam got a first-hand look at all that was broken with Wall Street as an investment banking analyst for Merrill Lynch. Most importantly, he’s a devoted husband and dad.
