My 401k allocation is too aggressive. I have been reading a few books (e.g., The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham, Wise Investing Made Simple by Larry E. Swedroe), and many web sites. I am now at a point where I think 100% equity asset allocation for my 401k is too risky — even for a [...]
Just a quick post about Blog Action Day that’s coming up in 6 days. Other M-Network bloggers and I will be writing about our environment (i.e., Mother Nature). Just as a tease, Blog Action Day provided us with a little quiz that answers, “what kind of blogger are you?“. Looks like I [...]

This week lesson with my wife was about different investment vehicles. I am not an investment guru, so our conversation was mainly around the ones we do use.
