Conventional Beltway wisdom says Democrats will get walloped in November. Reading the pages of The Hill and Politico, one would think the elephant in the Capitol has already trampled its donkey counterpart. Even MSNBC’s screeching Chris Matthews has called the Senate for the GOP. But Why? Based on previous midterm elections during a […]
As the song says, “it’s that most wonderful time of the year…” but if you are buying gifts for the techies in your life, it’s also one of the most trying times as you decide what to buy them, how much you want and need to spend and whether or not you can afford everything

Chasing after a “hot” investment — By the time you hear about a supposedly “hot” investment, it may already be cooling off.

Investing too aggressively — To achieve your long-term
