There are a lot of things converging all at once. My Web site is officially launched, my new office is under construction and will be ready soon, and my decision whether or not to change custodians is quickly approaching. Add to this the challenge of managing money under the current environment and a new team in Washington and there is a lot to do. Where do I begin?
The Site
I wrote a brief paper just after the election on what we might expect with an Obama administration. Then I sent an e-mail to everyone on my e-mail distribution list with some very broad areas to watch and also included a link to my Web site where they can download a PDF of the paper. In this way, I hope to drive traffic to my site.
Seminar
I have also been toying with the idea of holding a seminar to discuss the current bear market and recession. With an all-Democratic line-up in Washington, I think people's antennas are raised. I'm undecided as to whether I should do it this year or wait until January. Yesterday, I received a call from a company that sells lists. They are offering a list of people who are unhappy with their existing brokerage accounts. Imagine there are people who are unhappy with their brokerage account! I probably won't buy it.
New Office
