  • 6 Key Components to Reaching Your Wealth Management Goals by Charles Massimo
    I’m sure many have heard the expression, "The squeaky wheel gets the oil”.  The same can be said for investment talk.  The worst information is often the loudest.

  • How Far can the Stock Market FALL? by Sanford Kahn
    What a week for the stock market ending August 5, 2011.   Obviously, the short-term direction of the market is DOWN! The 20 day moving average of the S&P 500 stock index has busted-through its 50 day moving average.  The longer-term direction is a weakly UP.  If the 50 day moving average goes through its 200 day moving average, then the longer-term direction will be down.  It is now very c

    Do you remember the reaction on 9/11/2001 from "Our Country tis of thee, Sweet Land of Liberty? I do, I remember owning a small delivery company in my hometown of Jacksonville, Florida.

  • What you need to know about Marketing Luxury Real Estate by Greg Herder
    As the real estate market in the U.S. slowly continues to regain its footing, many agents are looking at this time as a chance to redefine their market. With so many agents abandoning—or at least significantly cutting back—their marketing systems to save money, others are jumping in to take advantage of the marketing void.

  • Another Side of Hoarding Marilyn Ellis         posted in: Finance
