This @CFTC seal, recovered from the ruins of the Twin Towers following the September 11th attacks, hangs with honor in our New York office as a solemn reminder of the lives lost 25 years ago. Today we remember their lives, the courage of our first responders, and the unity and resolve of our nation in the days that followed. Let us never forget.

As National 401k Day approaches, beware of fraudsters who promise safety for your #RetirementSavings. When you move money from a 401k or an IRA to a “self-directed” IRA, there are fewer safeguards between you and unscrupulous dealers who charge excessive #fees and overinflate #coinprices.
