Obama's Proposed Changes to Financial Rules and Regs

The government is proposed the largest group of changes to the current financial rules and regulations since The Great Depression.

While I'm not going to go into too much detail right now (this all has to be discussed and voted on by Congress), as these rules get hashed out and voted on I'll be writing more on how some of these changes may affect you.

I'll suffice it to say right now that I'm feeling good about some of the changes that are being proposed -- more later!

Do you have some of your investments allocated to emerging markets? I hope so. The fund my clients are in is up over 42% so far this year.

Someone sent me this link.  I don't know how accurate it is but it's certainly worth a look.  Very sobering!

Smelling the Roses, Literally

Well, I must have manifested roses in my last post because my wonderful husband bought me a dozen, beautiful yellow roses with pink tips for my birthday. They're sitting here on my desk as I write.

In spite of the recent GM bankruptcy filing, the market is holding it's own, actually moving up a little since that announcement.

While I don't have a crystal ball, this gives me some confidence.

I'm also devouring a new book by Dr. Wayne Dyer called "Excuses Begone!, How to Change Lifelong, Self-Defeating Thinking Habits." More on that later............
