By now, everyone you know has used AI. We're becoming reliant on AI fact, grammar and spell checking in the same way that we forgot all of our friends' phone numbers with our smart phone purchase. AI is as hot today as Dot Coms were in 1999 -- with a few very notable differences. By evaluating the core components of the listing—ranging from historic viral growth to systemic macroeconomic risk—Nata...

Over the past few weeks, Natalie Pace has been highlighting risks in mortgages. While those with a very low fixed rate feel secure, we're seeing signs of shenanigans in the fine print that could strip away that ultra low interest rate (which is too low for the banks to make money). On the other side of the spectrum, some homeowners and income property investors are falling for interest-only loans...

When Natalie Pace was in her 30s, she was a single mom, with a son in elementary school. Her income didn't cover the bills. Her credit card debt was high and the home that she got in the divorce was underwater, owing more on the mortgage than the condo was worth. It was a 2-bedroom, so renting out the 2nd bedroom wasn't an option. So, how did she escape that dead-end and build an authentic life an...

The hidden vulnerabilities of fixed-income assets are being exposed. What many investors treat as a risk-free security blanket is actually carrying unprecedented levels of risk.

In our latest deep dive, we break down the two market giants lead...

When you are driving a rideshare or working a corporate gig far outside your area of expertise and passion, life can feel bleak. The road ahead looks endless. Like many of us, Natalie Pace's own journey started with jobs she didn't care for at all—including one that directly violated my moral code. But taking a leap of faith allowed her to step into a career that brings genuine joy. Life isn't per...

Yesterday, the Treasury Department tried to calm interest rates by throwing money into the bond market. However, just one day later, investors of long-term Treasury bonds and notes ignored the bailout and continued to demand a higher return for their risk. Why?
