Nice work LD.

Great post. So cool to see you on video! Hope you are successful in getting FINRA’s books open.

Thanks for the videos. It’s interesting stuff for this Wall Street outsider.

I’ve never had enough to do any type of investing, except in my public employers retirement association my Social Security from my other jobs, and my kids’ college funds. The videos make clear to me that I’ve been lucky in some regard for my relative lack of wealth. I’ve always said my wealth was in my kids, family, and friends (especially the furry ones).

Still I worry for my sons. I had a long talk with my older son–who’s worried about his ability to support his little 5-month-old son as he’s in the middle of a move to a different state for his job. Will the house sell? Will the more expensive state he’s moving to have a place he can afford (i.e., Will he be back to renting)? Will his wife have to work part-time evenings while he babysits the baby (or will he have to get the part-time job) to make ends meet? How much of his savings will this move eat up?

My generation had it much easier as we moved into adulthood. I didn’t get rich, but that was never my goal. It was just easier to get started in life.

Every time I read your articles, I realize what a different universe Wall Street is from mine. But it’s also frightening because I fear so much the Wall Street mess will mess up my children’s futures because of all the “fixes” this Congress is attempting.

How did we get away from necessary regulation of Wall Street and from the expectation that the different regulatory agencies would have clear business guidelines and clear boundaries in regard to their work?

But you were clear and on the money. Bravo!
