The U.S. government recently received a credit downgrade. Castlepoint Partner & CIO Adam Lee, CFA®, explains why it’s not any bigger of a deal than that time Dennis Rodman went to Vegas before grabbing 14 rebounds and winning an NBA championship.
The Debt Ceiling and Asteroids
The debt ceiling crisis has captured headlines once again, but should you worry? That’s like asking if you should worry about an asteroid hitting the earth — if it happens, there’s little you can do about it.
