We’re looking up again this month – looks like the mutual funds are coming back a little bit this month. Both the wife and I had good 401k returns this month. The house dropped a bit, but that’s to be expected, but overall we’re looking up again.
I haven’t done readers requests in a while because I haven’t had one good one that I think would take up an entire post. HOWEVER, I’ve had several small requests that I can wrap into one post. Inquisitive, interesting, intriguing and some even unusual…
I first got into investing back in 1997 when I had a summer job that paid a few more bills than I needed to pay, in a town that had too few things worth paying for. So I opened up a ROTH IRA in the first “investment” branch I could find which was both a [...]
So the tax stimulus rebate checks are coming and everyone is trying to get a piece of the pie. I wrote an article yesterday about car dealerships sticking their paws in your face to get you to spend it there, but there may be a better way to do it…

This week has been a good week all around for MyInvestingBlog. We had close to 10,000 visitors thanks to a few viral posts, “How do I publicize my blog“, “will Brett Favre’s retirement affect the stock market“, and “a slick StumbleUpon option you may not know about“. Sold a few advertisementing spots and started up [...]
This one has popped in and out of my head for a few years now. I have a friend who has been doing it for a while now and making pretty good money off it. But I still haven’t jumped on the bandwagon. He’s done forex and penny stock investing but prefers the forex. He’s [...]
