3rd Quarter Review / 4th Quarter Review

The 3rd Quarter 2011 is over and I have a slightly longer video this week because I want to address the current environment and how things may shape up going forward.

A big theme is my advice to assess your overall plan and risk tolerance, and also to ensure you’re looking at both positive and negative points of view on the markets instead of just one view over the other.

I send my newsletter and videos on a weekly basis, so if you watch only a few througout the year, at least watch my more comprehensive quarterly videos.

I am taking new clients

Last quarter a client of mine asked my permission to refer his friend to me. He didn’t want to offend me by giving out my business card without my okay.

I’m hereby giving everyone permission to offend me!

What this conversation led me to understand is that I haven’t done a very good job communicating that Generosity Wealth Management has the knowledge, infrastructure, and expertise to help out your friends, family, and those you care about.

I work with clients seeking to grow, preserve, and distribute their wealth in an efficient manner to ensure the well being of themselves, their family, and their community interests.

I’m here to help and treat every client and prospect as a member of my family.

In case you need a reminder about Generosity, here’s a video I did back in May.

Europe – Echoes of Lehman

The big question we need to answer is “what happens after a Greek default?”.

Lehman’s collapse was a full year before the financial crisis of 2008, and it’s very probable the full impact of Europe imploding won’t be felt for some time.

We, as investors, need to stay informed and ready to react.

Time to Buy Municipals?

I’ ve been negative on the finances of state and local governments for some time, and continue to believe it will get worse before it gets better.

This article takes a contrarian view, particularly on the debt, which I want to present to you.

He argues there are “diamonds in the rough”, which is almost always true.

I’m still quite negative on municipals in general, but it’s good to see the other point of view.

Understanding Risk Management

J ohn Paulson, a smart, rich, and successful hedge fund manager, has some pretty good words about “Risk” in a paper he recently published.

Put simply, you have to understand what the Risk is before you come up with bumper sticker phases like “if you watch the downside the upside takes care of itself”.

Interesting article…..
