Brenda Vingiello, Sand Hill Global Advisors CIO, joins ‘Squawk Box’ to discuss the latest market trends ahead of the opening bell on Friday.
Moving Past the Pandemic Environment
There is a common saying that time heals almost everything. Yet, even as we embark on the fifth year since the pandemic began, most of us are still longing for many pre-pandemic norms that we used to take for granted.
Getting Back to Normal
As we reflect on the year that just passed and attempt to forecast what may be in store for this new year, we can’t help but wonder if 2023 was the grand finale of the many unique pandemic distortions that have kept us guessing for the past four years. From the Summer of spending on experiences at any cost, to the surprise acceleration in GDP growth following the Federal Reserve’s signaled final rate hike, 2023 was another year for the history books.
Things Really Are Different This Time
The number of unprecedented “firsts” that we have experienced over the last few years is enough to cause any economic PhD’s head to spin. We can’t help but think that history may ultimately repeat itself as this cycle wears on, but, for now, we are still in an economic twilight zone.
Planning for an American Expat Life

Reinvesting Cash on the Sidelines
It is human nature to want to avoid loss and instead seek refuge in something that feels safe.

The “S” Word
