My Comments: Readers of this blog have seen me talk about the “fiduciary standard” and what it means for clients, the general public and for those of us who provide financial advice. See my blog from earlier this month. This commentary appeared last Wednesday that suggests there is going to be a resolution soon. And, …

The Armageddon Caucus
My Thoughts About This: For me, the jar is almost always half full, and not half empty. But I think I’m getting over a slight case of the flu and my sleep patterns over the past few weeks have been anything but normal. So I’m perhaps more grumpy than normal. Sorry. Like it or not, …
America’s Last Frontier Shows the Need for Government
My Comments: Am unsure why this article cought my eye, and I decided to save it for later. Now that later is here, and frankly I’m sick of Syria, and all the other crap that TV and magazines, and the internet is bursting about. Yes, I have a slight touch of the flu so maybe …

Premium Increases Under Obamacare May Be Overstated
My Comments: If you take the time to read the rest of this article, you’ll perhaps better understand why I’ve taken the position all along that the fuss about ObamaCare is a contrived spectacle by those, mostly those opposed to anything from Obama, who are convinced that the President is a total waste of time. …

What Syria Means for the Market
My Comments: Wouldn't it be nice if the world and our lives were able to move from one month or year to the next with no unnecessary drama. But it doesn't, perhaps because it can't. Why the issue of Syria caused the markets to leap about earlier this week was the focus of commentary by …
Most Employers Say They’re Ready for PPACA
My Comments: It's beyond my ability to comprehend why the Republicans in Congress are still trying to defund the PPACA. It seems at this point they simply don't like Obama because he has a funny name, or is the wrong color, or because he reached a level in politics they can only dream about. That …
GLOBAL WARMING?
My Comments: Is it my imagination or are more and more folks finally accepting the fact that the earth is warming up? Why it makes any sense to deny the obvious is beyond me. Now, whether we can do anything realistic to stop or even slow it down is an unknown. But as I've mentioned …
‘Mission in a Bottle’
My Comments: Book reviews are way outside my normal comfort zone. But this book is about entrepreneurship, which is way inside my comfort zone. I have not yet read the book, but I have plans to. Review by Jason Abbruzzese | August 21, 2013 4:47 pm Mission in a Bottle: The Honest Guide to Doing …
The New Fed Chair Should Not Be One of the Usual Suspects
My Comments: I recently posted a blog in favor of Lawrence Summers to replace Ben Bernanke as chair. I also suggested that Janet Yellen would be OK. Now here is another argument that unfortunately makes a lot of sense. Clearly, whomever is ultimately chosen by Obama is going to have a huge impact on global …

Prepare Now for Tricky Times Ahead
My Comments: I believe the next several weeks are critical for my clients. I’m doing everything I can to reach out to them and attempt to have them make changes. I don’t think we’re likely to have a crash like the one we experienced in 2008, but the volatility will be enough to drive some …
