We had some fun with our latest LPL Street View video, as Director of Research Mark Zabicki and Chief Market Strategist Ryan Detrick went outside to shoot some hoops and talk about our upcoming Focus conference!

Focus is LPL Financial’s flagship annual conference, where we invite all 18,000 of our advisors to come see how much they mean to us and how we can help them help their clients.

Ryan and Marc played a fun game of Focus, while discussing the upcoming conference and some current market events. In case you’re wondering, Focus is just like Horse – other than you spell the word Focus instead.

They touched on how exciting this year’s Focus will be, even if it is virtual. They also discussed the surprise move lower in yields and why LPL Research still expects higher rates before the end of this year; along with how strong stocks have been and why a little pause could be likely. Lastly, they each pointed out what they’re looking forward to at Focus this year, with Coach K being right at the top of the list.

So who won this heated battle on the court? You’ll need to watch the full video below to find out. Enjoy!
