Errold Moody, PhD, MSFP, LLB, has over 50 years of experience analyzing Personal Financial Issues, including literally all elements impacting an individual. His current website, Financial and Economic Daily Commentary 2021, has been hailed by USA Today as, "...a high-powered personal bookmark list that spans the spectrum of the truly useful," and Forbes as a site, "...to find some great information."

Consulting Services - Dr. Moody's is a consultant on various issues in the areas of Real Estate, Stocks, Bonds, Limited Partnerships, Divorce, Taxes, Estate Planning, Retirement Planning, Ethics, Social Security, Medicare, and Behavioral Economics. His major focus for the last decade has been in the research and development of real life processes and documentation to lower risk in investing. In recessionary economies, losses would be about 12% to 15% (S&P 5000) versus 49% in 2000 and 57% in 2008.  Investors must be told their Risk of Loss prior to utilizing any investment allocations and to be told by the firm/agent what will be done to mitigate the potential losses.

Dr. Moody cautions novices against attempts by Planners, Brokerage Firms, Advisors, Analysts, State securities and insurance offices, ERISA, Consumer Federation Protection Bureau, SEC, FINRA, Department of Labor, Consumer groups (AARP, Consumer Federation of America) 401k plans, and general instruction, to clearly define the Element of Investment and Insurance Risk.

Dr. Moody addresses the nebulous, confrontational, and error riddled element of investment and insurance risk in his three books, No Nonsense Finance, Financial Planning Fiduciary Standards under Dodd Frank, and The Failure of Securities Arbitration.

Litigation - When a case is not to the point where an expert needs to be designated, clients and attorneys often benefit from consulting with an expert in order to gain a better understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of their case. Our firm offers services in these early stages, allowing the attorney to consider key questions, such as whether or not the case has enough value for litigating, potential settlement value, and often times forming the framework for discovery requests. With our in-depth experience in banking and real estate, we have been able to help our clients identify key issues to investigate in a deposition, consider different complexities of a case, and assist in fact development by suggesting documents or information to request. When we work in this consulting capacity, our communication is covered by the attorney-client privilege, so our clients and attorneys are free to discuss trial strategy without the worry of discoverability. This has allowed us to add value by performing preliminary analyses to assess the viability of different strategic directions for the case.

Bank Negotiation - Situations may arise where you could benefit from the knowledge and experience of an unbiased party in a financial situation. Whether you need help negotiating a short sale on your commercial property, working with the SBA, or renegotiating an operating line of credit with your bank, we can help. Our many years in the banking industry have given us the knowledge and contacts necessary to help you through the transaction.
