Mike's Thoughts on Regulations
I recently did this really awesome educational video for you on Bonds, but unfortunately I described the characteristics of bond mutual funds in layman terms without a bunch of disclosures, and approval from a higher up regulatory agency is required (come to find out).
So that got me thinking about rules and regulations. Should we have more or less, are they a cure-all panacea, and most importantly, what are the unintended consequences?
Click on the video below to hear my crazy thoughts on regulations. All right, they're not really crazy, but I think the question of more or less is a hard one, and we shouldn't "knee jerk" one way or another "just because". | | 2015 01 22 Mike's thoughts on regulations |

Great Article on Generosity Wealth Management
TheSuit Magazine did a nice article about me, my company, and some of my beliefs in their most recent edition.
I don't often get interviewed, so it was a fun experience. He got a few things wrong (I was not actually in Africa for 2 years straight but rather kept going back periodically over that 2 year time frame), but overall got it right.
I love my clients, company, and am having a lot of fun while trying to make a difference. Hopefully it shows.
One U.S. Dollar Could Soon Equal One Euro
The US Dollar is looking pretty mighty these days
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.
Greenback Sours Against the Euro
118 Books in 2014
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 re ading 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.
* The best new (to me at least) fiction authors were Patrick Lee and Dan Silva.
* My favorite 2014 Fiction Genre - Spy novels
* Best Business Book (specific to my industry) - Unveiling the Retirement Myth by Jim Otar
* Best Business Book (general) - Winning the Battle for Relevance by Michael McQueen
* Best Personal Development Book - Fearless Leaders by my friend TC North
* 2nd Favorite Personal Development Book - You are a Badass by Jen Sincero
* Best General Non-Fiction - Lost in the Jungle by Yossi Ghinsberg
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!

Surgery Cures Constipated Goldfish
The title of this should actually be "you know you have too much money when........"
Yes, that's right, someone paid $467 for their constipated goldfish to have surgery so it wouldn't die.
Weird.
Anyway, I'd write more about this but I have to go meet a friend for some all-you-can-eat sushi........
