RiskSmith Update: October 17, 2022

If the markets were open since the dawn of time…

With the markets closed (S&P 500 ⬆️ 2.7% | DJIA ⬆️ 1.9% | Nasdaq ⬆️ 3.4%) we can officially say it: today was a good day to be an investor. We like to call it out when that kind of thing happens. Hope your week’s off to a great start.

Here’s what’s new on our end:

Try the new RiskSmith Search

We’ve completely rebuilt the search function in RiskSmith.

Our goals:

1. Make it way easier to find what you’re looking for
2. Give you top-line stats at a glance
3. Make it easier to add to a portfolio or collection

Here it is in action:

This is the tip of the iceberg: the entire site and app are getting major overhauls. Stay tuned as those upgrades start to show up in a few weeks.

Join the RiskSmith Advisory Panel

Most of the amazing new additions to the app (current and future) came out of user feedback.

So we’re about to ramp that up. Over the next year or so, we’re doing more:

• customer interviews
• surveys
• usability testing of new RiskSmith features and functionality

If you’re reading this, you’re an early adopter, and we can’t thank you enough.

We all know markets are weird. Do you ever think about how weird?

Talk about a Black Swan event. When this came up on Discord, Dr. Smith offered a much more grounded perspective:

Have a great week, everyone!
