The Federal Reserve wrapped up its two-day Open Market Committee meeting last week with Chairman Ben Bernanke reaffirming that “keeping interest rates low is still appropriate for our economy.” But what if he’s wrong? His second term as chairman ends January 31, 2014. Will he be reappointed over and over again like the former chairman, Alan Greenspan? It is sad when individuals believe they can take the helm of such a huge economy and guide it peacefully into port. These guys believe they can. And as you see in the video below, it’s never their fault if they’re wrong.

His focus at all times is on preparing clients and readers for “Times Like These.” E.J. graduated from Babson College in Wellesley, Massachusetts, with a B.S. in finance and investments. In 1995, E.J. began his investment career at Fidelity Investments in Boston before joining Richard C. Young & Co., Ltd. in 1998. E.J. has trained at Sig Sauer Academy in Epping, NH. His first drum set was a 5-piece Slingerland with Zildjians. He grew-up worshiping Neil Peart (RIP) of the band Rush, and loves the song Tom Sawyer—the name of his family’s boat, a Grady-White Canyon 306. He grew up in Mattapoisett, MA, an idyllic small town on the water near Cape Cod. He spends time in Newport, RI and Bartlett, NH—both as far away from Wall Street as one could mentally get. The Newport office is on a quiet, tree lined street not far from the harbor and the log cabin in Bartlett, NH, the “Live Free or Die” state, sits on the edge of the White Mountain National Forest. He enjoys spending time in Key West (RIP JB) and Paris.
