In that vein, here are three things you need to consider before buying the stock.

By Sandy Schussel Selling insurance, financial planning or investments are some of the first and biggest marketing mistakes financial advisors can make. When you sell these, it means you’re selling the tools and not the results your prospects and clients want. When someone goes to the hardware store to buy a drill, he doesn’t need a drill.

One of the biggest misconceptions about Medicare is that coverage under it is free. Not only do enrollees pay a premium for Medicare coverage (aside from Part A, which is usually free), but they're required to meet deductibles and cover the cost of copays for things like prescription drugs. Now the good news is that a new law is set to take effect that should limit the extent to which seniors have to pay out of pocket for prescription drugs.

The U.S. economy expanded at an annualized 4.9% rate in the third quarter, growing more than twice as fast as the long-term average. That reading is somewhat surprising in context. Many economists had warned of a recession this year, citing the nearly unprecedented pace at which the Federal Reserve has raised interest rates to curb inflation. Those warnings seem almost laughable in light of the latest data, but that data may have captured the calm before the storm.
