Donnye Winship
My journey in financial services began in 1997 at Josephthal & Company, shortly after earning dual degrees in Mathematics and Psychology from Texas Tech University. I later joined Dain Rauscher (now RBC Dain Rauscher) to deepen my training and broaden my perspective. During that time, I also completed my MBA in Family Finance from the University of Dallas, which helped shape my approach to long-term planning and generational wealth.
In 2004, after a rewarding tenure at RBC Dain Rauscher, I transitioned to the independent advisory model through LPL Financial. This move gave me the freedom to serve clients with greater transparency and flexibility—tailoring strategies to their unique goals rather than fitting them into a one-size-fits-all mold. I believe that financial planning is more than just numbers; it’s about understanding your life, your values, and your vision for the future.
Outside the office, I’m a husband and proud father of five. Two of my kids are fully graduated and thriving in their careers, while the others are pursuing advanced degrees—one in law school, one in nursing school, and one in graduate studies. Watching them grow into driven, thoughtful adults has been one of the greatest joys of my life.
As a part-time passion, I compete in triathlons and coach fellow athletes through Tridot. My coaching focuses heavily on swim technique and mental preparation—helping athletes build confidence, resilience, and clarity under pressure. It’s a discipline that mirrors my approach to financial advising: train hard, think clearly, and always keep the long game in sight.

Happy Anniversary Bull Market | Weekly Market Commentary | October 13, 2025
Year three of this bull market was a strong one. After a bit of a slow start — the S&P 500 rose 21.4% during the first year of this bull compared with the average first-year gain near 40% — year two was a catch-up year with a 32.2% gain vs. a second-year average of 12.4%. Then in year three, a year that had produced an average gain of only 5.2% historically, the S&P 500 rallied 16.1% (through October 8, 2025, before Friday’s sell-off). As noted in the “After a Strong Third Year, This Bull is Ahead of Schedule” chart, the nearly 89% gain in the S&P 500 since this bull market began on October 12, 2022 (excluding dividends), is well ahead of the average and median three-year advances for all bull markets since 1950.
