I've lived happily, raised a family, and enjoyed a professional life in Gainesville for over 50 years. The next several years are full of promise. My goal is to find new clients, new friends and somehow share the wisdom I've accumulated over these many years. And when I have time, play a little golf and travel with my family. Cheers!
The New World Order Is Leaving the U.S. Behind
Friday = Random Thoughts Some of my Facebook friends may not realize I too want Donald Trump to be successful as President. Yes, I disagree with many of his positions on issues, but that alone isn’t enough for me to oppose him at every turn. For many years I played golf regularly with a group …

This is how much fees are hurting your retirement
My Comments: Value is in the eye of the beholder. When we need something, and it may be financial advice, pork chops or a car to drive, we typically spend money. If it's financial advice, it's sometime difficult to measure it's benefits, so be prepared to pay for it. As a self-styled expert on retirement …

Neoliberalism: the idea that swallowed the world
Wednesday = Global Economics If you are anything like me, you’re uncomfortable with the forces at work across society that are creating tension, fear and animosity everywhere you look. When you add the ever present slurs and crude expletives, the message often gets lost. My definition of civility is way out of date. Instead of …

Will This Happen to Social Security?
Tuesday = Social Security comments Concern about the continued viability of our Social Security system if very justified and real. The solutions to the problem are reltively simple and if started soon, will be absorbed by the economy with relative ease. But Capitol Hill is the wildcard here. The crisis is far from dramatic. Yet. …
Disruption Of Confidence
Monday = Investing Money: I’d like to think that my posts help someone, anyone? Professionally I’ve lived in the financial world for over 40 years and it pains me to say I haven’t a clue what’s going to happen next. What’s telling is that others, far more competent than I, don’t have a clue either. …
Trump Can’t Reverse the Decline of White Christian America
My Comments: Remember the context. Racial tension has been a hallmark of our society since the beginning. Think pilgrims vs indigenous peoples in the 1620’s. Think black vs white in the 1860’s. Right now the tension is elevated, and coupled with Trump’s inability or unwillingness to quash the tension, overreaction is going to surface. Reaction, …

Protect Yourself Against Cognitive Decline
My Comments: Readers of my posts know I usually talk about money or some aspect of it. My challenge over the years has been to assess the financial literacy of whomever I’m talking with. And that challenge increases with age; both mine and that of my friends and clients. This article might start a useful …
Please Help Me Find The Best Name
I'm creating an internet course to help people know which questions to ask about retirement before they start worrying about the answers. Part of the process is to register a domain name for everything related to the course. I've come up with four possible names. There were several others but they were already taken or …
Global Markets: Traders Put Record Cash To Work
My Comments: I recall a saying to the effect ‘pride goeth before a fall’. Rampant enthusiasm about investing across the market spectrum probably suggests the same thing. Of course, there’s always a follow up question about how much pride is necessary to trigger a fall. Just know that one is coming and if it concerns …
