How to protect your 401K in this market bubble

March 12, 2013 By Steven E. Greer

The stock markets have reached all-time highs despite the fundamentals of the economy still reflecting a recession. The reason for this incongruity is that the Federal Reserve has been indirectly “printing money”, via “Quantitative Easing” (QE), which has created a false perverse “free money” zero-interest-rate environment. Ben Bernanke’s Fed is currently pumping an astounding $85 Billion per month into the markets, inflating the biggest market bubble the world has ever seen.

Asphalt Green now provides after-school programs

Posted on May 9, 2013 by Editor

Asphalt Green wood floor 4-13-2013

Update May 9, 2013- Asphalt Green has now created a website explaining their after-school program. “No babysitter? No problem! With our after–school pick-up service, parents can rest assured their children are safely picked up from school and escorted to Asphalt Green for their afternoon classes. Students from PS 276 will travel by shuttle bus. Our chaperones will supervise and make sure children are ready for their classes. A break will also be provided for packed snacks. Children enrolled in classes starting at 3:30 pm only are eligible for after-school pick-up. Children must be picked up by caregivers immediately following their classes. After-School Pick-Up is available for children who attend PS 234, PS 89 & PS 276.”

For more information, please call 212.298.2900.

May 8, 2013- By Steven E. Greer, MD

Many of the parents who have supported Asphalt Green coming to Battery Park City have been under the impression that it would provider higher caliber after-school programs than what Bob Townley’s Manhattan Youth provides. That will not be the case.  Asphalt green does not offer after-school programs on the Upper East side, currently, and will not do so in the new BPC location either.

At the May 7th Community Board 1 (CB1) meeting, Continue reading →
