We are all aware of the current inflation situation.  The financial press has spent months wondering if the inflation we are experiencing is short-term or a more insidious longer-term trend.   I have been, and still am, of the opinion that it is short-term and will ease in 2022, significantly.  We are in a perfect […]

[Part of this column was published in the Sarasota Herald-Tribune]   U.S. The next three months will be a time of darkness in America.  This will be due to COVID-19.  We are entering a time when the past experiences we have had with the virus as a nation will seem more like a prologue.   […]
