The Next Great Market Meltdown
My Comments: My hope for the future about this is that I will be wrong. But I’m also aware that hope is not a very effective investment strategy. So, apart from my hope that you and yours have a spectacular 2015, it’s tempered by my expectations of reality. This writer is well known to those …
There’s an App for That!
Several days ago I was trying to figure out the length of my step when I walk so I could determine how far I went on my morning walk. I figured if I counted my steps and multiplied by the number of inches, I could come up with a pretty good approximation. The simplest way …
2015 PPACA Compliance Checklist
My Comments: It’s hard to believe the PPACA (ObamaCare) has been around for so long. And in spite of the new Congress making lots of noises about making it go away, it’s not going to go away. Will it change? Most definitely. Are changes necessary? Most definitely. But the overall intent to bring millions of …
Why the Bond Market Could Blow Up Any Day Now…
My Comments: The SKY IS FALLING! Actually, it’s not, but many of the headlines suggest it might be. This was published 3 months ago and as you probably know, the bond market has not yet blown up. Lots of things have changed but the bond market is just as boring today as it was then. …

Not enough people are yet …

The Dark Side to Falling Oil Prices
My Comments: My wife and I took a few days off; visited friends and family in Tennessee and North Carolina. The lowest per gallon price we saw along the way was $2.29 in South Carolina. If you read my blog posts, you’ll know I expect for the markets to stop going up and for there …
… the Future of Medicine
My Comments: I claim no authority on this topic. However, because I work with physicians all the time, I’m very aware of the pressures that apply to the profession. There is much going on over which no individual has any control, one of which is the apparent erosion of the profession in terms on college …
Division and Crisis Risk Sapping the West’s Power
My Comments: I make no apologies for having supported and voted for Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012. Much of the pressure from the right, in my opinion, is irrational and disguised racism. Here is an opinion from England, my birthplace and true friend of America. It’s an interesting perspective and to the extent you …
