Goldman Sachs believes the U.S. dollar will catch up to the Euro and may even be equal by the end of the year.
This is just one outcome of a resurgent America in comparison to the European Monetary countries that are having all kinds of difficulty. While we ended our bond buying program, they’re just about to start.
This is good news for US travelers to Europe but bad news for big multi-national companies that do lots of business overseas as they convert back into US dollars.
A couple of years ago I started rating my books I read on www.goodreads.com.
Then I realized it kept track of all of them, and without knowing it I read 73 books in 2013. So, for 2014 I thought “I’ll bet I could read 100 books if I changed a few habits around (like no TV)”. So, that’s what I did, and I’ve never felt smarter and more enriched.
I ended up reading 118 books in 2014, 66 fiction and 52 non-fiction.
Of the 52 non-fiction, 13 were business, 14 were personal development, and 25 miscellaneous general non-fiction.
For 2015, I will probably get close again (reading is a lifestyle) and I plan on reading some long books like Fountainhead by Ayn Rand and a few other classics.
I’ll provide my 2015 thoughts this time next year!
Okay, I know privacy notices and my Form ADV could be considered boring, and after the video above (which you clicked on of course), you want a continuation of the most exciting new information in the world.
Well, privacy policies can sort of be interesting, can’t they?
And my ADV tells you all kinds of things about me, like when I was born, where I went to school (Go Hurons!), and all about my professional registrations. It also lists my outside activities, charities and other non-profits I’m involved in.
Have I sucked you into clicking on either of the links yet? Don’t say I didn’t try. (You know secretly want to).
Back by popular demand is my Key Financial Information chart as a quick reference guide for you throughout the year.
I work with a number of good CPAs, so don’t hesitate to contact me for guidance as a good CPA can be a valuable member of your financial planning team.
