The four things a man must learn to do
If he would make his record true;
To think without confusion clearly;
To love his fellow man sincerely;
To act from honest motives purely;
To trust in God and Heaven securely.
Kevin j Palmer is a financial industry veteran devoted to challenging economic injustices by empowering others to attain Financial Freedom. His proficiencies are rooted in decades of driving performance for Wall Street giants Merrill Lynch and Paine Webber. Then, as Managing Director at Strategic Management Advisors where partnering with other executives, he built better broker-dealers by improving business models during an industry paradigm shift. Opposing power in the hands of the too few, this writer, rebel, producer, poet exploded into advocacy to end economic abuse and assure morally achieved wealth. Humbled by blessings and aversion to seeing suffering, this unabashed champion of financial justice also participates in wildlife rescue, environmental stewardship–and as recipient of the Governors Archaeology award, is fascinated by the lives of individuals who lived thousands of years ago. By then I had my fill of traveling around the country making myopic security industry owners richer and began doing behavioral research exclusively—not to mention indulging in an old bad habit of Day Trading. Soon, as a give back, so to speak, I began advising the Governor and State Treasurer, pro bono, on how to navigate the Great Recession that we were in the middle of, by keeping businesses open and attracting new enterprises to Arizona. As it turned out I discovered that “we the people” were merely slaves to a self-serving system. My years on “The Street” taught me to understand tone of the tape and how to dull beta and enhance alpha. Working with empty suits who had escaped to government because they would have failed in the private sector, quickly resulted in my frustration. Changing course, I began using my research to write, albeit seditiously at times, about how to resist falling prey to corrupt political machinery that shackles common mankind for its own benefit
