January 2022

  It's January the 25th, Tuesday afternoon. It's been a wild ride. This video will probably go out Wednesday morning. If you're in tech these last 10 days, you've really been spanked, but Tech's been over value for so long. The market has been hard for everybody. Is it the end of the world or is this just an overdue reset? Hello, my name's Paul Carroll, the CEO and founder of Avion Wealth, an elite wealth management firm here in Texas. On January the sixth, we put out a blog video, cautioning investors that they're going to take away the punch bowl, that the fed has had enough. And that tech is almost certainly going to get hurt, pretty much chapter and verse. It's not often you can make a call that precisely.

All a backdoor Roth is, is taking advantage of different rules to put after-tax dollars into a traditional IRA, and then subsequently convert those after-tax dollars in that traditional IRA to a Roth IRA. It's a tax-free maneuver, and it gets around the income limits for making direct contributions into the Roth IRA. The mega-backdoor Roth is...

I'm the CEO and founder of Avion Wealth, an elite wealth management firm here in Texas. Happy new year. Yesterday, the fed released its minutes from its policy meeting, clearly indicating they're going to be raising interest rates here probably sooner than later. Now, frankly, unless you're in a COVID induced coma, this shouldn't be news to you. It's in the news. They've been talking about it. They've been criticizing the fed for a year. Of course, it was going to happen. It's happening all over the world. I'm enthusiastic though. 2022 is probably the end of the pandemic. What we're seeing with this Omicron is greater infectiousness, but milder symptoms. We are evolving from pandemic to endemic. Now,...
