By George Seay As coronavirus fears mount, and as the US stock market continues its enormous volatility to the upside and downside, both, Americans and specifically investors should focus on the long term.  We are undoubtedly in for at least several months of economic, social, and health hits from the virus, and fears appear likely to mount further.  A key thing to watch is when cases outside of China plateau and decline, as they already have in China.  This event will likely signal most, if not all of the damage to the global markets and economies will have occurred by

How fitting that December 3 is known as “Giving Tuesday” or “National Giving Day” and that it falls five days after Turkey Day, following Thanksgiving Week. Americans have been a grateful and generous people throughout our history. It seems intuitive to our tribe to be thankful, as almost every American comes from an immigrant family originally, typically coming to our great country with almost nothing except hope, and a deep desire for freedom and a fresh start. One of my ancestors came over on the Mayflower as an indentured servant, earning his freedom in the New World over time. On the

The United States and Iran have been far from “bosom buddies” since our old friend the Ayatollah Khomeini overthrew the Shah and imprisoned over 40 Americans in our Embassy for over a year in 1979-1980.  Since that sad event, Iranian financed terrorists killed more than 200 Marines in Lebanon, leading to a Marine withdrawal, and seized American troops in a small military vessel during the Obama Administration. They have funded terrorist activity all over the globe, including in Iraq while Americans were trying to stabilize that country, Hamas in the Gaza Strip, Hezbollah in Lebanon, as well as terrorists in
