Holding the Purse Strings

Today, Godfrey preaches her experience to clients as a full-time private financial professional. In an hourlong conversation over a pink-topped conference table, she suggests several books, a Web site, even a movie about the excesses of bar mitzvahs. This many not be a typical financial planning conversation, but Godfrey is of a different breed: She’s a woman.
She is among the slowly increasing number of women entering a field long dominated by men. Of the 55,600 certified financial planners in the U.S., fewer than one in four is female, according to some estimates.

Stock markets resumed their steep drop Wednesday, losing 450 points and sending the Dow Jones industrial average down 7 percent since Monday. Another $700 billion in investments vanished, according to The Associated Press.
How do investors on Main Street protect themselves? The Times Union gathered a panel of experts to talk about what consumers should be doing with their savings, investment and retirement accounts in the wake of this week’s turmoil on Wall Street. Our panel included Hugh Johnson, chairman and CEO of Albany-based Johnson Illington Advisors LLC, assisted by Abigail Doolittle, the firm’s director of business development; Lynn Wright Barnes, owner of Wright & Barnes Investments in Schenectady; Bill Losey, a certified financial planner who heads his own advisory firm in Wilton; and Kathleen Godfrey, president of Godfrey Financial Associates in Latham. Their responses have been edited and condensed.
FIGHT THE IMPULSE TO JUMP, ANALYSTS SAY
Capital Region experts tell investors that the best thing to do is to remain calm

Jittery financial markets had expected calming reassurance. Instead, they got the equivalent of three shots of espresso.
That’s the opinion of five Capital Region analysts and economists interviewed Monday evening in the wake of the U.S. House of Representatives’ stunning rejection of the Wall Street rescue plan proposed by the Bush Administration.
Among the local analysts and economists, there often was deep worry about what the next few days might bring — especially after Monday’s dramatic stock market drop.
“This was as bad a day as I can remember since Oct. 19, 1987,” said Hugh Johnson, chairman and CEO of Albany-based Johnson Illington Advisors LLC, referring to the stock market plunge known as Black Monday.
Johnson said he was “disappointed” with the House vote because he believed the bailout plan was a salve financial markets needed.
Others, noting that predictions are difficult because the situation is unprecedented, thought the next few days would likely bring further turbulence because the financial system now has all the self-confidence of a 13-year-old boy at his first mixed-gender dance.
