1. Let’s Talk Philadelphia Is Not Talking About These Things In This Month’s Column!
A. Oprah Winfrey And The Keto Controversy!
Forbes just reported that Oprah Winfrey’s net worth is 2.3 billion dollars. C’mon! She ranks 23rd in women billionaires who are making a difference.
Does she really need the money that she is getting from pushing a Keto diet supplement that will help you lose a thousand pounds with one pill in just one night?
She is offering a free bottle of her Keto Gummies to all her supporters. However, to get her free bottle you have to buy two other bottles for $49. C’mon Oprah! All the articles and expose videos about whether she is real on this diet breakthrough make for some good reading and viewing…
B. The 25th Anniversary Of Princess Diana’s Death.
Today is the 25th Anniversary of Princess Diana’s tragic death. Her iconic stature is evident in every picture you see of her and every article you read about her as she was thrust into the British, European, and world spotlight.
Kristen Stewart played Princess Diana in last year’s movie Spencer. Stewart was nominated for a Critics Choice Movie Award, an Academy Award, and a Golden Globe Award for her acting. Stewart did win a Satellite Best Actress Award for her performance in Spencer. We are looking for a viewing venue for our Friday afternoon office lunch and a movie. Spencer, only, briefly appeared in Philadelphia thanks to the pandemic shortage of open theaters.
C. Olivia Newton John Dying After Struggling With And Then Dying Of Breast Cancer At Age 73.
We researched and found out that Olivia Newton John appeared on 12 covers of People Magazine but we couldn’t find any statistics of how many covers she appeared on across the magazine world. Our favorite cover of all we looked at appears below.
Olivia made 16 movies (Go Grease, You Are The One). She had twenty records in Billboard Magazine’s top twenty. Five of those records reached number one. Physical is her best seller by a mile. Here comes the office however…Hopelessly Devoted To You and I Honestly Love You took all the office accolades.
D. Day Shift With Jamie Fox, Dave Franco, Snoop Dog, Meagan Good And Natasha Bordizzo!
After seeing the three Twilight movies (Vampires having babies with humans) and the three Blade movies (Vampire dogs) we thought we had seen everything vampire…ish in the movie world. Then, along comes the 2022 vampire movie Day Shift. Day Shift incorporates everything you have seen in past vampire movies and adds two new wrinkles. In Day Shift you meet the Origin Vampire who can walk in the daylight with no adverse side effects (burn-less). You, also, meet the group that resurrected him. They have perfected a skin cream that blocks the sun and prevents any sun damage. Clinique is trying to work a deal to get their formula if any vampires survive after Jamie Fox and Snoop Dog crush the opposition. Snoop Dog is good in this movie!
E. David Baldacci’s The Fallen!
The winner of the Office Readathon of books about Pennsylvania goes to David Baldacci’s The Fallen (c…2018). Philadelphia and Baronville are featured as multiple book hero Amos Decker tries to solve eight murders in a town the size of your pinky.
Decker’s attempt, with the help of local police, state police, and the FBI, keeps you reading for more as he is shot, poisoned, gassed, blown up, and misled by everyone throughout the story. Through it all he, also, has time to search for a lost treasure. Wow! Murder hunting and treasure hunting in the same book! This is a must read!

Hi Tom!
I’m onto the third benefit of working with a financial professional. I think it’s one of the most important ones. Let me know if you agree. Have you seen those cartoons where the heart is on one side and the brain is on the other as they argue about something? The heart is all feeling, the brain is all thinking, and the two just can’t come together. I see that so often when it comes to financial matters.
- An adult child should learn to be independent but mom and dad just can’t stop giving handouts — even when it hurts them financially.
- A stock is tanking in value and all the data supports selling it but the investor can’t let it go because they “just feel that it’s going to come back up.”
- A “hot” stock has been soaring for months. The price-to-earnings ratio is off the charts and it’s definitely not the right time to buy. Yet, the investor buys it anyway, because their golf buddy was bragging about it.
These are just a few examples of how emotion can cloud logic when it comes to financial matters. It’s when you encounter scenarios like this that help from a financial professional can be so valuable.
Having a partner who isn’t emotionally involved in the situation can help cooler heads prevail.
Do you have a financial matter that you’d like an objective third party to weigh in on? I’d love to chat with you. Give me a call at (215) 660-0288 or click here to request a free, no-obligation Personal Q&A Session.
