Joerg Wolf presents America’s Cultural Superiority posted at Atlantic Review, saying, “While many Europeans make themselves feel good by trashing America and by describing Americans negatively (=Anti-Americanism), many Americans make themselves feel good by telling themselves that they are better than others: More than half of Americans say their culture is superior to others, according to a new Pew Global Attitudes Survey.”
Larry Russell presents Avoiding financial advisor and investment counselor frauds and scams – Overview posted at THE SKILLED INVESTOR Blog, saying, “The best way to avoid being defrauded or scammed by a financial or investment advisor is to investigate carefully several different advisers before hiring one of them. If you carefully choose a financial adviser or investment counselor, you have a far greater chance of finding one who is objective, competent, and ethical. This could help you to avoid significant problems in the future.”
