Griffin Black, LLC

None of us can foresee the future - and we can't control the markets. However, even in the face of this uncertainty, there are things that we as investors know, as well as principles of successful investing that have stood the test of time. Here are some principles that Griffin Black seeks to put into practice every day: • We seek to construct portfolios that will meet each client’s individual financial and emotional needs. • We invest for the long term. We think that trying to guess whether the market is going to go up or down tomorrow or next week is gambling, not investing. • We pay close attention to the cost of investments.

Warren Buffet is one of the richest people on the planet. Yet his wisdom extends far beyond the financial. A few years ago, he said: “The problem with love is that it's not for sale. The only way to get love is to be lovable. It's very irritating if you have a lot of money. You'd like to think you could write a check: I'll buy a million dollars' worth of love.” It’s a thought a lot of wealthy people have; and of course, Buffet is right in pointing out that it doesn’t work. The same is obviously true of praise and admiration once you’re no longer around. Earning admiration and earning money are very different kinds of projects. Perhaps this fact is something for all of us to remember as we finish out one year and embark on a new one. #financialplanning #wealthmanagement #WarrenBuffet

What's your personal financial strategy? People sometimes ask us, “How did your clients’ portfolios do last year?” “Which one?” we reply. “The one invested for our 67-year-old client’s ongoing retirement expenses? Or the 92-year-old’s money that he doesn’t need but which is set aside for his kids to inherit some day? Or the 39-year-old entrepreneur’s ‘safe’ money because the rest of his life is all risk and uncertainty?” Each client’s portfolio is different, because each client has a unique set of financial circumstances and life goals. We are here to help you build a portfolio that meets your goals! #FinancialWealth #FinancialAdvisor #PortfolioManagement

What educational background and professional experience does your financial advisor have? Choosing the right financial advisor is about more than brand names—it's about trust, expertise, and a personal connection. Boutique firms often offer experienced advisors who can truly understand your unique needs. Ask about their credentials, experience, and approach to ensure a great fit. A good advisor listens, respects your perspective, and works with integrity. Want to learn more?
