http://www.marconews.com/staff/gerry-kramer/<p>Hailing from New York City about six decades ago, Gerry has authored more than 30 books on finance. He is a former banker, economist, editor, public speaker, consultant, world traveler, business school professor, CEO entrepreneur, elementary school teacher, and cocktail mixologist (bartender). He also maintains he is a great cook.</p> <p>His children love the poems he often writes to them, but he admits unconditional love plays a role in that opinion.</p> <p>Gerry spent the greater part of his career conducting more than 1500 seminars advising and teaching bankers around the world how to structure and market complex financial products. Realizing the error of his ways, he now focuses on helping non bankers understand financial alternatives. Thus, his column, Money $marts, is all about making smart financial decisions in a world designed to confuse.</p>en-ushttp://www.naplesnews.com/news/2013/jun/12/money-marts-critical-thinking-about-college/Money $marts: Critical thinking about collegeWed, 12 Jun 2013 15:52:00 -0000http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2013/jun/12/money-marts-critical-thinking-about-college/http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2013/jun/05/money-marts-paying-for-a-party-we-cant-attend/Money $marts: Paying for a party we can't attendWed, 05 Jun 2013 16:31:00 -0000http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2013/jun/05/money-marts-paying-for-a-party-we-cant-attend/http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2013/may/29/money-marts-great-expectations-can-be-met/Money $marts: Great expectations can be metWed, 29 May 2013 19:17:00 -0000http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2013/may/29/money-marts-great-expectations-can-be-met/http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2013/may/22/money-marts-sorry-its-just-what-i-do/Money $marts: 'Sorry, it's just what I do'Wed, 22 May 2013 15:47:00 -0000http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2013/may/22/money-marts-sorry-its-just-what-i-do/http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2013/may/15/money-marts-three-strikes-and-youre-out/Money $marts: Three strikes and you're out!Wed, 15 May 2013 16:46:00 -0000http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2013/may/15/money-marts-three-strikes-and-youre-out/http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2013/may/08/money-marts-the-party-may-be-over/Money $marts: The party may be overWed, 08 May 2013 14:30:00 -0000http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2013/may/08/money-marts-the-party-may-be-over/http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2013/may/01/money-marts-of-the-people-by-the-people-against/Money $marts: Of the people, by the people, against the peopleWed, 01 May 2013 18:00:00 -0000http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2013/may/01/money-marts-of-the-people-by-the-people-against/http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2013/apr/24/money-marts-the-happiest-people-in-the-world/Money $marts: The happiest people in the world?Wed, 24 Apr 2013 14:47:00 -0000http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2013/apr/24/money-marts-the-happiest-people-in-the-world/http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2013/apr/10/money-marts-when-theres-no-shame8230/Money $marts: When there's no shame&#8230;Wed, 10 Apr 2013 20:13:00 -0000http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2013/apr/10/money-marts-when-theres-no-shame8230/http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2013/apr/03/money-marts-the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly/Money $marts: The good, the bad and the uglyWed, 03 Apr 2013 19:34:00 -0000http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2013/apr/03/money-marts-the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly/
