The financial news today included a report from Reuters that legendary investor George Soros had died. He issued a statement denying it but the markets were waiting for a second opinion. Next to politicians, hedge fund managers have little credibility when they issue statements.
I thought it might be appropriate for me to announce my own return from the dead. I'm Alan Dickson. I have been known to introduce myself as a recovering financial planner.
Its been almost a decade since I stopped writing publicly on financial matters. After writing two books (one a bestseller) and numerous articles for a national magazine, I thought I didn't have much more to say. But sometimes you just have to speakup.
I continue to be disturbed by how easily we the public can be swayed by the experts as they spout-off statements about our precarious financial condition. I intend to challenge many of their assumptions.
I hope I can provoke some discussion and maybe entertain a little.
I am entertained. What else do you have to say?
