Now...the more important question is; Do you really want 2010 to be better? The reality...the sad reality... is that most people go about setting goals in a way thats guaranteed that they will never achieve them. The majority focus on their past; what they either didn't do, or what they did wrong.

I've been on the road for a while. A combination of exciting WMI business...next level stuff....to due diligence for WMI m2/m3 conferences, and of course for the VRA. As I've been writing, Dow 10,000 was a certainty, and it doesn't look like this rally is close to being over. There is simply too much strength in the primary leadership...

That’s right…the m2 announcement from yesterday was not a mistake and did not contain typos. We’re giving away not one, but two homes at the m2 Wealth Conference in Las Vegas, November 15-18. Total Value...$150k to 200k…which is probably still too low of an estimate.

Just back in from a great end of summer vacation/baseball tourney in Maui....summer is over for the Herriage household and it's back to school today. During a layover yesterday I noticed that the market was getting hammered. Then, when I ran my research this morning Isaw that it was not only a 180 point down day,

Hello from Paradise! I'm in the Dom Republic at WMI's Private Wealth Group and this place is beyond gorgeous. What's even more incredible than the scenery however are the WMI Members in attendance. Yes, our WMI family rocks...

THE NEW NORMAL - WHY ANY RECOVERY WILL BE PAINFULLY SLOW Think for a second about where our economic growth came from over the last 10 years or so. We know that consumers have been the primary drivers for the US economy. Because we now manufacture….

Wayne Allyn Root, WMI’s Senior Economic Advisor, the 2008 Libertarian Party Vice Presidential nominee, and a regular personality on FOX News and FOX Business, is declaring “W.A.R” on big government beginning June 6, when “W.A.R: The Wayne Allyn Root Show” debuts in the three largest U.S. radio markets.

Hello from New York, where I will be joining guest host Wayne Allyn Root on the Jerry Doyle radio show today. The show is nationally syndicated and is one of the highest rated radio talk shows in America with millions of listeners each day. The show runs from 3-6pm est, and I will be on at approximately5 pm est.

April unemployment showed the U.S. losing 539,000 jobs, versus the 600,000 estimate, bringing the unemployment rate to 8.9%. U4, the unemployment rate that includes those that have stopped looking for work and those that are working just part time, now stands at 16%.

Before I get to the market forecast for the week, just a quick reminder that this IS a bear market rally, and once it ends: "Too-big-to-fail" banks like Bank of America andCitigroup, and corporations like Chrysler and General Motors, WILL ultimately be allowed to fail; …

Google's earnings report after the close of trading showed that while they beat the estimates pretty handily, growth is clearly showing due to a decrease in ad sales. Initially the stock traded over $20 higher to $400 + before ending at $388, up $9 on the day. any of the key financials closed lower, reversing earlier gains. Goldman, Wells Fargo,

Meridith Whitney, another of the top ranked bank analysts, and one that has been dead right on the insolvency issues surrounding the industry over the last couple of years, came on CNBC to say that the first quarter earnings results should not be as bad as some have feared.

Assuming that the market doesn’t fall apart today (down 120 points now but I think it may even close positive), today will mark the single best week we’ve had in the market since late December and for the first time in a long time I’m seeing some constructive market internals (new highs/lows,
