In this episode of the Planned Solutions Incorporated Podcast, The second-quarter earnings season, in which companies report their results for the second quarter, will be picking up steam soon. The results will likely have a significant impact on stock returns for the remainder of the year as investors assess how companies are dealing with inflation, rising interest rates, and concerns about economic growth. In addition, the number and amount of negative earnings adjustments that are taken this quarter may impact the overall earnings results as they have during past market downturns.\n\nAlso, While the major stock indexes were down as much as 20% earlier this year there are several areas of the market where the losses have been much greater. The cryptocurrency area as well as\ntechnology companies that recently went public have experienced losses of 70-80% over the past nine months. However, many mainstream investors did not participate in these investments making their experience much different.\n\nAnd, The IRS recommends that taxpayers, including those who\nare on extension, not wait until the last minute to file their returns. The IRS is already dealing with a large backlog of returns to be processed so the sooner a taxpayer gets their return into the IRS the sooner their refund may be processed. Those who wait until the deadline may end up at \u201cthe back of the line\u201d which could lead to a long delay in processing. \n\nPlus a look at the Planned Solutions Incorporated Office Bulletin Board- Planned Solutions sponsored and Chase and Joel played in a golf tournament in support of the Katie Nues Foundation. The Katie Nues Foundation founded the first clinic to treat children with Rett\u2019s disease on the West Coast located in Oakland, CA.

So, our office is back to its normal function without any significant disruptions to in-office meetings. However, for those who prefer it, we are happy to offer phone and Zoom meetings as well.\n\nDaryl has been accepted into the UC Davis Extension Executive Leadership Program.
