Events

Chart Chats are informative, virtual presentations by a financial advisor at OsborneKlein. We review stock market indexes with relevant indicators overlaid. These are the trend lines based on a given index's trading range, and that index's moving averages. We discuss these trends and show where the market currently sits relative to them. We dive into any historical similarities to the current chart, or show how the market's reactions to its trendlines have changed over time. Then get a summary of the thoughts from our OsborneKlein advisors. The presentation is followed by a Question & Answer session based on the presentation.

Join us for a virtual presentation on Thursday – May 22nd, 2025. The event is complimentary. Below are details about the event.

“How to Maximize Social Security Benefits” covers the rules and strategies to maximize benefits for married couples, eligible divorced spouses and families with minor or disabled children. It explains how lifetime earnings and age of claiming benefits determines monthly benefits amount. The presentation outlines changes for 2025 including higher benefits and for some earners, higher taxes, due to annual cost-of-living adjustments. It also details the new Social Security Fairness Act which repeals two provisions that had reduced or eliminated Social Security benefits in the past for some public sector workers—including some police, firefighters and teachers— who have pensions based on work where they did not pay FICA taxes.
