Market Volatility and Your Money

You’d have to be living in a cave without reception to not know how expensive life has become or to understand how much less your hard-earned dollar is worth. Fuel is up, food is up, rent is up, rates are up … stress is up! And above all there is the need to keep up!

Crashes, Crypto & Money Disasters

Full Disclosure: The Author [Richard Ronc] has no cryptocurrency holdings.

The last week in the markets have been … interesting to say the least. Volatility is not merely a word that should be used to tell people that something is going bad.  Volatility can also send things the other way … violently, with bone snapping force.

Have you ever been in a car with a lunatic who just kept doing stupid ****? Have you ever seen that crash coming and simply frozen as all of the events have simply unfolded around you?
