How to Hire Financial Help
Hiring a financial professional can be a daunting task. It can be a bit like dating – you need to understand yourself and what you need out of the relationship. Get up to speed on the lingo of professional credentials. Then you can look for some good candidates to team up with you. Finally, a few clicks on the Internet can confirm credentials and find out about any past problems.
What is your current situation?
The hardest step in meeting with a professional is doing your homework first! Take time to gather some general information about your household that includes a list of your assets and market value, your debts’ balances and interest rates, insurance policies, and short and long term financial goals.
Think about whether you want someone that will hold your hand through the entire process and be an active partner with you. Or, perhaps you want someone to listen to your goals, determine how you can meet those goals, and then you will do all the work to put the plan into place.

Financial Stocks Roundup: Morgan Stanley Braces for Downgrades
MINYANVILLE ORIGINAL After getting a bounce yesterday which was possibly fuelled by positive comments from Warren Buffett US financial stocks took a beating today. Morgan Stanley (MS) was among the hardest hit declining 2.48%. According to an SEC filing the bank’s counterparties might demand as much as $ 7.21 billion in collateral if Moody’s makes good on its promise to downgrade it by two notches. Morgan Stanley might see its rating fall by as much as three notches which would place it just two steps above junk. The bank also revealed a $ 1 billion lawsuit from Prudential Insurance (PRU) over misrepresentation

Larry Burkett: A Christian Financial Pioneer
To many in America, personal finance from a Christian perspective begins and ends with Dave Ramsey. If you listen to Ramsey long enough, though, you will hear him give a tip of the cap to another man, Larry Burkett. Burkett died in 2003, but his legacy as a leader in the world of Christian personal finance was secure well before his passing.
Who Was Larry Burkett?
Burkett taught many of the same principles that today are heard over the airwaves from Ramsey such as getting out of debt, having an emergency fund, and giving generously. His message was quite simple, but it resonated with millions who read his books and heard his three different radio programs (“Money Matters,” “How to Manage Your Money,” and “MoneyWatch.”). In addition, many others remember his short radio blasts called “A Money Minute,” which focused on personal finance, but covered many related topics as well.
Burkett is probably best remembered for his books, and he was a prolific author. Many do not realize (in fact, I didn’t know this until I researched for this article) that Burkett wrote novels in addition to his financial and leadership writing. All told, Larry Burkett authored or co-authored some 70 volumes, which, according to different sources, have sold around 11-12 million copies worldwide.
To house all of this work, Burkett founded a ministry called Christian Financial Concepts (CFC) in 1976. In 2000, that ministry merged with the well-known Crown Minstries, and the joint work became known as Crown Financial Ministries. Burkett was the CEO until his passing, and the work that Crown does continues to this day, following the same basic concepts Burkett used throughout his life.

After STOCK: Four Financial Perks Still Enjoyed by Congress
Congress has made a half-hearted attempt to crack down on its own insider trading brought to the public’s attention last November by a 60 Minutes report (also see Congressional Insider Trading: Story Finally Sticks) and Peter Schweizer’s book Throw Them All Out. Both sources pointed out that high-ranking members of Congress traded shares of Citigroup (C) Goldman Sachs (GS) Bank of America (BAC) Apple (AAPL) and other companies’ stocks when receiving news about the coming financial crisis in 2008. Congress quickly introduced the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act or STOCK Act in the same month to respond to
