In this month's client newsletter, I take a look at why the market
always seems to tank in the summer after a strong fall/winter. I think
it is by design of the Federal Reserve. Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke has
two objectives: higher stock market and low mortgage rates. The problem
is these are opposing forces. Usually, when one does well, the other
suffers. So Uncle Ben undertakes the Bernanke Two-Step, which you can
read about in the newsletter.
Second, one complaint most folks have about our investing climate is the paltry yields offered at banks. In the newsletter, I offer a new option for your cash that may give a higher yield without any additional risk. I will feature a new option in the next couple newsletters.
