April 5-12 is International Dark Sky Week, a good time for stargazing. Philadelphia’s skyline darkened on April 1, and non-essential lights won’t return until May 31. The goal of “Lights Out Philly” is to save some birds. (Maybe this effort will help the Eagles, too. They need all the help they can get.)

Beware
the Risks Beneath Your Investments
Although the market appears strong, striking losses
still occur. One of the reasons, as we see it, is because people
rarely change. Several large banks are among the individuals
and entities that experienced significant losses after margin calls
connected to a fund managed by a formerly blacklisted trader. Greensill
Capital, reliant on debt, appears to have collapsed. Hedge funds are not the
only entities that face the dangers of improperly managed risks.
If you need forensic accounting experience to fully
understand the risks you may face, the professionals at Asterion can help.
