Take a look at Worthington's insights and commentaries from W3 Principal, Bill Schiffman.
By Bill Schiffman & Rc Arseneau We understand that there is an overwhelming amount of information and emotions that you may be processing right now and have intentionally chosen not to overwhelm you with messages simply for the sake of activity. However, the recently passed CARES Act does include some financial provisions to provide timely…
Read More“Minute by minute by minute by minute… I’ll be holding on”… a very timely hook/lyric from the Doobie Brothers circa 1978. As an aside, I wasn’t crazy about the addition of new lead singer, Michael McDonald, to the band. They morphed from a fun, entertaining bunch of rock and rollers to a homogenized group tailor made…
Read More“Sometimes in our lives, we all have pain… we all have sorrow… but if we are wise, we know that there’s always tomorrow… lean on me, when you’re not strong… and I’ll be your friend… I’ll help you carry on… for it won’t be long… ‘til I’m gonna need somebody to lean on…” A rather…
Read MoreGod grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change… courage to change the things I can… and wisdom to know the difference… The great American theologian, Reinhold Niebuhr, began using the serenity prayer in his sermons in 1934. It has since been adopted in many forms by various institutions and self-help groups.…
Read More“M-m-m-m-m-m-my Corona!” A little twist on the catchy 1979 song “My Sharona” by one-hit wonders The Knack. Given what the stock market is doing today, it’s a rather obvious choice for this month’s song title. Because many of us are rightfully concerned about the impact of the Coronavirus on our investments, I thought that I’d get…
Read More“Home is where the hatred is… home is nothing but pain… and it might not be such a bad idea… if I never went home again.” The late Gil Scott-Heron wrote and performed these haunting lyrics in 1971. The song “Home is Where the Hatred Is” has been re-worked by many diverse artists, from Esther…
Read More“Faster than a speeding bullet… more powerful than a locomotive… able to leap tall buildings at a single bound…Look! Up in the sky! It’s a bird… it’s a plane… it’s the 2019 stock market!” What a year for equity investors! 2019 will go down as a banner one, with overall performance not seen since 1997.…
Read More“You can’t always get what you want… you can’t always get what you want… you can’t always get what you want… but if you try sometimes… well, you might find… you get what you need.” It’s hard to believe that this Rolling Stones classic from the “Let It Bleed” album is fifty years old. Drummer…
Read More“Yesterday…all my troubles seemed so far away…now it looks as though they’re here to stay…so now I long for yesterday…” These slightly altered classic Beatles lyrics might just be today’s theme song for the White House. President Trump is now faced with perhaps the most difficult trial of his tumultuous career. The transcript of his…
Read More“Dear Mr. Fantasy, play us a tune…something to make us all happy…do anything, take us out of this gloom…sing a song, play guitar, make it snappy…” It’s hard to believe that Traffic recorded this song over 50 years ago.
