H. Michael Finkle

The author of this Middle American story shares the memories of his depression era family and how their personal experiences helped shape his own life and world views into a successful career as a financial advisor with several of the nation's top investment firms. His is a story of reality based life judgments that assisted him and his clients in achieving their own individual versions of the American dream.

The lessons which the author references can be very applicable to investors today who are facing the fallout of the so called 'great recession' and are watching the world vacilate between the prospects of deflation and financial armageden versus the long term inflationary risks of todays central banks money printing binge.
