Can Your Money Manager Beat the S&P 500?
Consider this… The last time the British rowing team won an Olympic gold was 1912! To say they were average would have been an understatement. It wasn’t money they were missing.

My grandma and I never got along. My dad’s mom to be exact, let’s call her Dorothy. Two years after my dad was born she gave him up and moved from Kenosha to Chicago. My grandpa didn’t want him either. Abandoned and unwanted. When my dad went to my grandmas funeral and introduced himself…
