Thanks.

Captive Insurance/Estate Planning/Asset Protection Questions?

My tax practice is centered around captive insurance. I'm the author of the book U.S. Captive Insurance Law (which is also available on Kindle), the leading book in the field. You can learn more about captive insurance at my website.

I also practice law in the areas of estate planning and asset protection.

The Bonddad Economic History Project

At the beginning of 2012, I decided to start looking at the actual, statistical history of the US economy starting in 1950. The reason is simple: to find out what really happened. So, when you see title of a post that begins with a year such as 1957, followed by "employment" or "Fed policy: you know what it's for. You can also access the information by typing in BE for Bonddad econ and a year to find information on a particular year.

Here is a link to pages that contain links to all the posts on the years listed.

1950
1951
1952
1953
The expansion of the early 1950s
The recession of July 53-May 54
The recession of July 53-May 43 in FRED charts
