A tale of two investment strategies
In today's investment world, there is a great debate among money managers about the best approach for investors looking to live off their money.
Finding good on Wall Street?
B Corp movement commandeered Wall Street’s jaded eye, at least for a moment, in mid-April as Etsy, an online marketplace for selling crafts and handmade goods, took its stock public on the Nasdaq Stock Market.
Protecting your nest egg
Many of us spend years carefully working and planning for a comfortable retirement. We assume our retirement savings are protected to some extent; but unfortunately, there are uncontrollable and often unpredictable external variables at play, such as the rising cost of health care.
Where to go when the bank says no
As a result of this new banking era, many borrowers are unable to obtain traditional financing and are now looking at other sources for their cash needs.
What to do with that inheritance
Is there an inheritance in your future? So often we wait until the last minute to decide how we will handle an inheritance and then find out too late we made an unwise decision. Don’t let that happen to you.

Lessons From Warren
One of the dumbest things I ever did was sell my two shares of Berkshire Hathaway stock many years ago. “Warren Buffett is getting old,” I said to myself, “and he certainly can’t continue this kind of record!” Well, he has!
A study in investment contrasts
Friday, September 19, 2014. This day recently had two historic events. Scotland voted to stay together, keeping their 307-year-old union. And China, with the U.S. as midwife, floated the largest IPO in history. Why is this important?
Feel-good investing
There’s a growing trend within the investment industry that reflects an increasing awareness of looking beyond traditional financial analysis.
The currency game
You have been hearing a lot more about the strength of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies for some time. The U.S. dollar has risen 15 percent against the Euro in the past 12 months Today, a U.S. dollar is equivalent to .87 Euros and a Euro will buy 1.13 U.S. dollars.
