Know The Red Flag In Your Portfolio
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Travis Forman, Portfolio Manager at Strategic Private Wealth Counsel - Harbourfront Wealth Management . Not to alarm you, but there may be a red flag in your portfolio. You might have a sound investment plan and be adequately diversified, but how are you protecting your purchasing power? Do you have inflation-fighting assets in your portfolio? Whether we acknowledge it or not, we are in an era of higher inflation. Just a couple of years ago, inflation was low, and interest rates were at rock bottom. As we know, this has changed significantly since then.

How Remote Work Impacts Managers
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Discussions around the "future of work" nearly always revolve around knowledge workers. Since the Covid pandemic, many of these discussions revolve around remote work, and whether it has been productive, the gender issues involved when we work from home, and what it might do to corporate real estate. Research from Reichman University's Baruch Ivcher School of Psychology takes a different tact and explores the issue of remote work from the manager's perspective. The researchers wanted to understand how the transition to remote work has affected managers, especially in light of the reinvention of the managerial role in the wake of the transition.

Today, they’ve expanded from a handful of bars and liquor stores in the Chicago area to distribution in the entire state of Illinois, as well as Wisconsin and Colorado, as well as shipping through e-commerce to more than 30 different states, with plans for distribution expansion to more states this year. “Illinois, Wisconsin and … [Read more...] about Oatmilk Cream Liqueur Challenges The Category
