Neil George

Neil J. George has worn many hats during his years as an insider in the bond and banking communities, learning the ropes with Merrill Lynch International Bank and serving as Chief Economist at Mark Twain Bank, Mercantile Bank and British-based Guinness Flight.

A few years ago Neil left institutional investing to concentrate on managing and living off his own personal portfolio, but that doesn’t mean he spends all of his days on the golf course or relaxing on a private island. Since exchanging Wall Street for Main Street, Neil has dedicated his expertise and attention to helping individual investors make a splash in the world’s financial markets without getting soaked.

Neil earned a Bachelor’s degree in Economics from Kings College and a Master’s degree in International Finance from Webster University in Europe. A longtime native of St. Louis, Neil also serves as an adjunct professor and board member of Webster University's School of Business and Technology. Neil is a committed philanthropist, finding time to serve on the boards of several foundations. His charity work centers on raising awareness of animal rights and welfare as well as supporting study-abroad programs for American students.

What Was and What Could Be

This is just the beginning. And it won’t be too long before we look back at these moves and wonder what we were thinking. Hopefully by then we’ll have moved on to a period where Uncle Sam isn’t a partner in a seemingly endless stream of businesses and industries. But for now, as it relates to your investments, the here and now dictates that you need to gear up to invest right along with Uncle Sam Inc.

Less Risk, More Yield

Who hasn’t experienced firsthand what it means for the S&P 500 to be down 24 percent over the last two months and 33 percent year-to-date? The market’s gut-wrenching implosion is spelled out daily, red numbers all over computer monitors, TV screens, and newsprint.

But there’s more havoc lurking. It’s not drawing much media attention--yet. Wait until investors those investors brave enough to do it open up their brokerage statements. We all know about the share-price declines, but a story that will play out over coming months is the heavy falloff in dividend income. This is the insult after the injury.


Now What?

Chaos: That pretty much sums up the thinking on global markets. The follow-up is: Get me out of everything. Sell it; I don’t care what it is, or what the price is. Just get me out.

One market opens and folks sell, and keep selling into the close. The next market opens and picks up with the selling. As the world turns, market after market keeps selling.


Do Your Best

It doesn’t matter what happened on Capitol Hill this week. What does matter is having a plan to get for getting past not just the next several days of ups and downs in the market but the coming year as well.

Comrades

I thought we won the Cold War. The Berlin Wall fell, pushed over by Ronald Reagan and his crusade for individual rights and free markets--free from as much government as he could dismantle during his political life.

Don't Jump

Just as many of you were looking up at the sky rise towers of the big banks around the nation to make sure that you aren't going to be squashed like a bug by defenestrated bank executives, the government has stepped in with a fix for the whole credit market fiasco.

Buy Bonds in This Battered Market

Embattled investment bank Lehman Brothers is now in liquidation mode. Regulators and what’s left of the street are hoping for a workout or, for some in the latter group, licking their chops like vultures over carrion.

Whose Market Is It?

With all the unfolding shenanigans--from stock analysts pimping companies they know aren’t worth the ink and paper used to report trades on your brokerage statements to hedge funds and prime brokers getting to play by different sets of rules--the market continues to get more and more dicey for the average stock investor.

Work the Problem

Will the stock market ever recover? Where is the bottom for the Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500 or the Nasdaq Composite--which hasn’t recovered since the last market blowup at the start of this decade--and when will we reach it?

Let's Dance

Election years bring investors all sorts of anxieties. Aside from the various campaign promises designed to attract us to a particular candidate, we must also consider which nominee’s policy changes threaten to erode our financial well-being. Such considerations give new meaning to the term political plank, and pocketbook politics always hit home during times of economic and market malaise.
