Wealth Today

If you’re like me, and got some cash for the holidays and want to stretch it, consider getting a savings account through a great bank. It might also be a good time to set a New Years resolution, of putting all your gift money for the year into a high yield savings account. If you’d like to commit, I’ll help sweeten the deal by giving a referral. ING Direct will give a bonus if you establish a savings account using the referral and a minimum starting balance. Please contact me if you’re interested in taking advantage of this offer.

My wife knows this, and others have studied the phenomenon, but now South Korean physicists have applied a universal formula that supports the truth in this matter. They say that formula is nk(t+1) — nk(t) = w(k-1)(t)*n(k-1)(t) — wk(t)*nk(t) + sigma(k,1)*u(t)
