Hodges Private Client

Time for the “The Friday Fast Five” from Hodges Capital. Builder pricing pressure persisted in November, with 41% of builders reducing prices and 65% offering incentives, even as regional sentiment showed mixed but generally improving trends. At the market level, trading activity continues to shift away from traditional exchanges, with far fewer U.S.-listed stocks today than in the 1990s and private equity firms now outnumbering public companies. Citadel Securities remains a dominant force in this environment, executing roughly a quarter of all U.S. equity volume and more than a third of retail trades. Holiday travel is also set to hit new records, as more than 80 million Americans prepare to travel for Thanksgiving across cars, planes, buses, and other transportation. Meanwhile, Dallas home values reflect broader regional cooling, with 87% of metro homes down year-over-year even as long-term appreciation remains strong. At Hodges Capital we track the markets, trends, and your money so you don’t have to. Invest with us today. Your future self will thank you. https://na2.hubs.ly/H02fThT0

Our Clark Hodges breaks down a lesson his dad always emphasized — and it still holds true today:

If two people invest the same $100
a month at a 6% annual return until age 65:

Start at 25 ➡️ end up with $199,000
Start at 35 ➡️ end up with $100,000

Just 10 years earlier = nearly double the outcome.

It’s not about beating the market every year — it’s about giving your money time to grow.

At Hodges Capital, we help clients take a long-term approach to building wealth, no matter where they’re starting from.

Start smart. Start early. Start now.
