***Newsletter***

I have been writing a monthly newsletter, covering a variety of topics, since early 2008. It has varied from 1 to 4 pages, but most are less than 2 pages. Coverage is mostly related to risk management and investments. Some are written at a high level, dealing with the general economy, and some cover very specific topics. I try to write something about the current financial environment, and there have been plenty of topics to choose from. The newsletters are educational in nature and do not constitute investment advice. The newsletters are released publicly to my web site after 3-6 months.

For those interested in a 12-month subscription, corporate entities should send $1,000 and individuals $100 in US currency payable to
Rudolph Financial Consulting, LLC
5002 S. 237th Circle
Elkhorn, NE 68022 USA

The newsletters are distributed via email, so please include an active email address.
