eMemo: Casual Wednesday Mornings

Please note that with the end of the summer season comes the end of the annual Casual Wednesday Mornings dress code. As of now, you are no longer required to dress casually on Wednesday mornings, but the standard dress code of the white shirt, tie or bolo, slacks and black shoes still applies to the other working hours.

Should I Withdraw the Money from My 401(k)?

I was wondering if you could give me some advice about my 401(k). My cousin says that he can get me in on the ground floor of a new investment opportunity involving “bailout bags,” that’s the special sacks of money the government puts the money into before they give that money away to all the banks, auto manufacturers and insurance companies.
