In this week's video, Dennis Morton and Katie Brown discuss the shift in recent investor focus from speculation, through trends like cryptocurrency, to financial planning as changes in tax law are front and center once again. They discuss how good investing shouldn't be based on hype or social media buzz, and instead should be deliberate and intentional. They also continue last week's conversation about the possible implications on changes to capital gains taxes based on the president's proposed tax plan, and who this change might impact the most.
