How Tax-Friendly Is Your State?

Dan Sudit, partner at Crewe Advisors, shares his thoughts on taxes in regards to moving to a new state with Jeff Ostrowski at MoneyGeek. “When moving to a new state, people should be familiar with the differences in state income tax rules.

US Stocks Brace for Pain on Fresh Earnings Blows: Markets Wrap

Dustin Thackeray, chief investment officer at Crewe Advisors, speaks with reporter Isabelle Lee about Q3 earnings and the effects on U.S. stocks. Thackeray explains challenges the Fed faces as they become more hawkish. “They obviously don’t want to be too dovish and the market is obviously looking for any sort of a sign from the Fed that we’re hitting the break, so to speak, on rate increases. If they continue on their too hawkish stance, there is a risk that things kind of get out of hand on that end as well. So they’re definitely walking a very fine line,” says Thackeray.
