When looking at your options for senior living, it’s always important to look at the amenities, the location and the price, but most people forget the most vital service. It’s one that cannot be copied, marketed or researched on the internet. The single most essential aspect of any community is the staff. […]

How ironic, one of the most volatile years for the equity markets in over a generation resulted in the smallest change in value! On Dec. 31, 2010, the S&P 500 closed at a value of 1,257.64. The same market closed on Dec. 30, 2011 at a value of 1,257.60. Equity investors basically earned the dividend yield that as of Dec. 31 was 2.12%. A bit of consolation is that treasuries are yielding lower. Five-year treasuries are yielding 0.83% and 10-year treasuries are yielding 1.88%. […]
