newsletter and other items

Just put out the March financial planning newsletter, click over to the advisory firm website and look under “news”.

Things I am pondering:  Tomorrow Cyprus banks open after being shutdown for almost 2 weeks.  Those with over $100k in savings are seeing up to 40% of their money confiscated by the government (at the direction of the EU).  The country will also impose capital controls to prevent citizens from taking out to much of their savings or going out of the country with more than $3000.  Amazing.  I don’t really see how this ends well.  Is this the tipping point for the end of the European Union?
