As we approach the halfway point of 2026, one thing is certain—it's been a hot year. From tensions in the Middle East, to soaring summer temperatures, to an economy that continues to surprise many observers, the headlines have given us plenty to watch. Yet amid the heat, there are also encouraging signs. As always, we remain optimistic while keeping our eyes wide open to both opportunities and risks.
This month, I'm featuring a brief video from my lead portfolio manager, Rich Limekiller, Senior Portfolio Manager and Managing Director at RBC Rochdale. RBC Rochdale continues to be my most trusted resource for economic research and investment guidance, and Rich provides an insightful perspective on today's markets. I think you'll find his comments both informative and reassuring.
I also have exciting news to share. In the coming weeks, I'll be announcing an important expansion of Licciardello Financial Services that will enhance the way we serve our clients while strengthening the continuity of advice you can count on for years to come. Stay tuned—I'm looking forward to sharing the details.
Until then, all of us at Licciardello Financial Services wish you and your family a safe, relaxing, and Happy Fourth of July!
In the meantime, as I so often remind you, if it's been a while since we've last met, especially if there have been any changes in your life, please reach out to schedule time to meet. By Zoom or in person, the coffee is always on!
