Given the strength that the US has exhibited in the last few months, it’ll put some limitations on world growth, but it won’t drag it down.” The Fiscal Times January 10, 2012 Jeff Layman, Chief Investment Officer, BKD Wealth Advisors Anne Brennan of The Fiscal Times quotes Jeff Layman, principal and CIO at BKD Wealth Advisors, in an article about the top investing trends that consumers should consider for the New Year.
