Welcome! My Mission Statement

I have so many thoughts to share with all of you ... but I know to pace myself so let me start with a mission statement or my purpose in taking up this idea of blogging ....

As a person trained in risk management, treasury, investment, and cash management and with years in the financial services business, I have some expertise I am dying to share with YOU! Why? No, it's not that I need the money (although more is nice).

I work at a financial institution with direct responsibility for investment credit, among other areas. As a VP, I am often asked questions about the financial "state of affairs", not only at my company and how the TARP, TALF, CP, guarantees, etc. affect my firm, but also I often get asked by co-workers what they should do in the markets, etc.

So, my mission ... my mission is to help an average, every day person (and reader of this blog) o understand how to minimize their personal risk and exposure to all of this financial mess, to understand what all this gook (technical term) is about, and to help you make informed decisions about your personal finances. And I hope to make the posts "light", even funny sometimes, and to bring you, my reader, a little bit of practical knowledge.

So, here we go ...

And, post feedback and ask questions. I need to know what is on your mind ...
