Nashville Coin & Currency, Inc.
By Martin L. February 23, 2011
I went to this place a couple days ago. Ive been doin some research here and there to find a place that I can trust to possibly do some buying and selling with, but this is the only place I can seem to find. I stopped in to take a look first. I was a little confused. The place is not a store, just a small little room tucked inside a very big, hard to find office building. There are no cases out to look at or any sign of any merchandise. I introduced myself to the lady at the first desk and the guy that owns it came to me and gave me some more information about the process. They were all really nice and gave me a lot of information that I woudlnt have known probably without going there, but I was confused with the setting and it all seemed a little unorganised. Hm? What to do now ...read more

Countrywide Home Loans
By nsh22 at Citysearch August 22, 2008
My family and I recently purchased a new home and obtained a mortgage through Countrywide. I did a good bit of research and called a number of lenders before choosing a mortgage company. Countrywide had as good of rates as anyone and also the lowest closing costs. What I liked best was the fact that the initial "good faith" quote I received was very easy to read and understand and was in spreadsheet format which allowed me play with the loan amount to see what made the most since for us. The agent we work with, Chris Woods, was very helpful throughout the process and even cut some of his fees when the final costs were figured in order to keep the closing costs where he had originally quoted (even without the cut, the final quote was still within the range he initially promised us +/- $300). Chris contacted us at least weekly to keep us informed of the status of the loan, and of anything they needed from us. The entire process was very smooth, and I will definitely call Chris and Countrywide on future mortgages. ...read more

2010 – Poster Child of a New Era? By Bob Bolan Life Wealth Coach
2010 – Poster Child of a New Era?4:33 pm | Monday, Jan 3rdFiled underIntegrated Wealth Planning,Wealth Planning|No Comments 2010 ended on a high note, with December market returns of about 6.7% (for the S&P; 500 Large Cap index) coming close to matching the previous 11 months returns of 7.8% and bringing the full year returns to 15%. Notably, in August, the market was down 4.6% year to date after having been up 7% through April. I believe this market volatility, likely coupled with an upward bias, may be the real "new normal" over the next several years. While large cap stocks preformed admirably, small caps returned almost 27% for the year. Almost ½ of that total came in September, with a return of 12.5% for the month.Fixed income produced reasonable returns as well with the Barclays Intermediate Term Credit Bond index returning 7.6% for the year. While not nearly as volatile, but in contrast to equities, fixed income was down each of the last two months, shaving a combined 2% from total year returns.If this increased volatility continues, which we believe is likely, opportunistic rebalancing will take on additional importance to capture the incremental returns that the market is offering. At present, we have our rebalancing software set to alert us to a rebalance opportunity if a particular asset gets more than 10% out of balance. This forces a "buy on weakness, sell on strength" discipline. For example, if the strategic allocation to large cap equities were 20%, we would be alerted to a rebalance opportunity if the allocation moved above 22% or below 18%.This rebalancing strategy will work as long as pullbacks don't turn into real routs. If this occurs, it is good and appropriate to have a backup plan such as using moving averages to help assess "stop loss" points on an asset class by asset class basis. This forces a culling of laggards. We lowered positions in Developed International and in Healthcare during the year based on these conditions, both to good effect. Developed International rose 6.7%, about ½ the domestic US return, on Sovereign Debt issues, while the Healthcare sector rose a modest 2.4% on uncertainty surrounding Healthcare Reform.The markets are responding well to the Federal Reserve efforts of monetary easing, improved GDP growth, modestly lower unemployment and low core inflation pressures. While things can obviously change, for now, it is steady as we go.Bob Bolanwww.LifeWealthCoach.com ...read more

Life | Wealth Blog, "Focus on Cash Flow, not Monthly Statement"
Focus on Cash Flow, not Monthly Statement Posted: 23 Nov 2010 12:51 PM PST Bond yields have risen the past couple of weeks in the face of the Federal Reserve's Quantitative Easing, Part 2 implementation. Municipal bonds have lost slightly more value than corporates. Bond traders point to a large amount of new funding taking place, which is putting pressure on yields as well as a looming cut-off of Federal stimulus to states, which will require budget cuts and/or tax increases to meet current spending levels. The pullback in the bond market was sudden and a little unsettling, but based on the outlook for inflation, interest rates and the ability for states/companies to meet their obligations we remain comfortable at this juncture with a laddered portfolio of higher quality bonds for the fixed income portion of a portfolio. During times of market decline I often get calls of worry. Conversely, during market increases, clients will call with glad tidings. It is natural for investor mood to swing along with the vagaries of the market, but it is not the best yard stick to use for keeping score once distributions have begun. The proper yard stick is cash flow. Long term cash generated from a portfolio is a more meaningful measuring stick, unless you plan to spend the entire balance in the account at a particular point in time. Although most investors are fixated on their monthly statements and whether or not the account went up or down, the truth is that they would make wiser decisions if they rather considered how much cash flow their accounts are expected to throw off over the years. The total amount of cash generated (think golden goose laying eggs) is more relevant than the size of the portfolio (goose) on any given day. Thinking back to the 2008/early 2009 financial crisis, financial institutions got into trouble because they didn't have enough cash flow to meet near term obligations, not because their balance sheet was down. Portfolio values will ebb and flow, but tend to recover when properly structured. The main thing is to always have enough cash on hand to meet short term spending needs. Lehman Brothers ran out of cash and filed bankruptcy. Cash flush Barclays Bank bought Lehman assets when they were under pressure and has benefited greatly as asset prices have recovered. With a properly structured laddered bond portfolio, some portion of the ladder will mature every year, presumably at par, that can either be spent or be put back to work at the far end of the ladder at the then current interest rate. So even if the current value of a 5-10 year bond moves lower as interest rates rise, the cash yield is unchanged. The value will recover as it nears maturity. This is not to say we don't want to shorten maturities in a rising inflation and interest rate environment. We do. But we want to time that move appropriately. Right now, the Federal Reserve is fighting against the possibility of deflation, not inflation. Let's fight one fight at a time. ...read more
