Why Brexit Doesn’t Really Matter (For Your Investments)

One of my friends is American, but lives and works in the UK. Even though he couldn’t vote in the referendum, he fought really hard for the “Remain” campaign.

Why I’ve Been A Little Quiet Lately

Check out this email that I got from a close friend today: Friends check to see how you’re doing. Best friends check to see if you’re still alive. Nope, I’m not dead, although yes, I have been a little quiet on this blog lately. Why? Two reasons: I just started a new job posting which
