Take Control With a 401(k) Rollover Rolling over your 401(k) — whether to a new employer’s plan or an IRA — offers greater control and more investment choices. When you leave a job, certain benefits tied to your 401(k) may no longer apply. Fees might increase, and you’ll lose the ability to make new contributions. A rollover ensures your retirement savings stay on track while providing access to a broader range of investments. However, there are times when keeping your 401(k) where it is might be wiser. For example, if you hold significant stock in your former employer’s company, you may want to weigh the tax implications before rolling over. Are you ready to take the next step, opening a traditional or Roth IRA? It can be a simple way to manage your retirement savings. Graham Wealth Management makes it easy to get started, giving you the tools and flexibility to build a secure financial future. #stock #savings #wealthmanagement

New Challenges as Mortgage Rates Ease? In recent years, elevated mortgage rates, driven by the Federal Reserve’s high-interest policy to combat inflation, weighed heavily on the U.S. housing market. Many buyers were priced out, and builders struggled to move new homes despite a shortage of available properties. To incentivize sales, builders turned to mortgage rate buydowns, covering upfront costs to lower buyers' mortgage rates temporarily. This strategy helped boost new home sales by 10% year-over-year in August, according to Census Bureau data. However, with the Federal Reserve now beginning to ease interest rates, homeowners locked into higher-rate mortgages may consider selling, potentially flooding the market with more existing homes. This shift could undercut demand for new builds, forcing builders to reconsider their incentives. If buydowns lose effectiveness, builders may resort to price cuts to attract buyers—a welcome development for consumers, but a complicated scenario for investors in residential real estate and builders navigating the evolving market landscape. #interestrates #pricedout #housingmarket

When evaluating companies for investment, it's crucial to identify those with the potential for long-term success. We don't just look at short-term profitability. In addition to looking for stocks trading below their true value, often because the market has overlooked or mispriced them, we focus on businesses with a solid foundation for growth and sustainability. Here are five key characteristics we prioritize when considering a purchase: 1. Innovative Product/Service: The company must offer something unique, setting it apart from competitors. Innovation drives market demand and keeps customers engaged. 2. Scalability: A company should be able to grow rapidly without a proportional increase in costs. Scalability ensures that as the company grows, profits increase exponentially. 3. Exponential Customer Base: We prioritize companies with a growing customer base that has the potential to multiply, not just add. This signals strong demand and market reach. 4. Expanding Addressable Market: The larger the potential market, the greater the growth opportunity. We look for companies operating in expanding industries with untapped customer potential. 5. Repeat, On-Going Purchases or Subscription Models: A steady stream of recurring revenue, such as through subscriptions or repeat purchases, provides financial stability and predictable income streams. These traits form the backbone of a strong, investable business and act together in most attracting our allocations of capital for our clients. #growprofits #customerbase #profitability #stocks
