The American's Creed

I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union, one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.

I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its constitution; to obey its laws; to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

Freakonomics and Financial Advisors

By JLP | June 27, 2006

My friend Allan Roth of Dare to be Dull has done a great job of applying the findings of Freakonomics to the financial planning business in this article on the FederalNewsRadio website. Good stuff. Read it and pass it on.
