You need no better example as to why we started Hedgeable than the Man Financial (now known as MF Global) fiasco. It personifies everything that is wrong with the financial services industry- corruption, greed, incompetence, manipulation, and stupidity. We are sick and tired of the crooks that dominate the industry and those that view the financial markets [...]]]></description>

There is growing despair amongst the U.S. population. As a society, we are growing older and growing poorer by the minute. The gap between the rich and poor is constantly increasing as the U.S. economy stagnates. Standard of living for the middle class has plummeted as home prices continue to level off.

There are some companies that are going to thrive and some that are going to falter over the coming years. Those that choose wisely will be rewarded. The days of asset allocation are likely over.
