Biggest challenge: Kuttin says the biggest challenge in his career was probably when he made the decision to spend less time working with clients.

Nasdaq futures indicate potential 1.4% gains over the next week, supported by upward revisions in revenue expectations. Small-cap indexes may lag due to higher borrowing costs, but Kuttin’s clients are advised to maintain diversified exposure.
