Worst Case Wednesday

wild wild world of wealth worst case wednesday

Next week I’m starting an advice column for finance professionals: Worst Case Wednesday. It’s about what to do when the unthinkable happens.

  • You’re late for a meeting—even worse, you sleep through it.
  • The SEC shows up at your front door.
  • Your client asks an uncomfortable question, inviting a white lie.
  • You flunk the Series 7.
  • A colleague throws you under the bus.
  • Your boss hits on you.
  • Your partner hits you.
  • Somebody loses it—client or coworker—and starts screaming at you in a crowd.

I’ll kick off Worst Cast Wednesday on January 27th with a doozy: How to Do A Perp Walk. Think Galleon and federal wiretaps. Think whistleblowers and Swiss bank accounts.

What’s an advice column without questions? Want to talk about an office disaster? You can be anonymous—Trading Error in London—you get the point. Comment below or use the contact form to send me an email.

Do you ever feel the financial news makes no sense? Do stories leave you with more questions than answers? I created Acrimoney to discuss Wall Street’s behavior behind the headlines. As a veteran of a wealth management business that exceeded $1 billion in assets, I offer insight into the people and the “doings” that affect your money. I’ll start the discussion. But I hope you’ll jump in and say what you think.
