January 24, 2008 at 2:18 pm ET Starting in January of 2007, I began highlighting various mutual funds and provided a brief analysis and review of each. Some of the funds are very well-known, while others are small and go practically unnoticed by the investing community. I don’t claim to be an expert fund selector, and none of these funds are [...] ... (more) Wednesday, January 23, 2008 Suspicious Bank Fee on Your Statement?

January 23, 2008 at 7:11 pm ET If you have a savings or money market account at a bank or credit union, it has limitations on certain transactions set by Regulation D, which was established by the Federal Reserve Board to implement reserve requirements for depository institutions. Regulation D limits the number of electronic transactions on a savings or money market [...] ... (more) Monday, January 21, 2008 From Generation X Finance - view blog entries - visit this blog
January 21, 2008 at 4:32 pm ET On January 14th, 2008 Royce reopened a number of funds, including the Royce Micro-Cap Fund (RYOTX).

January 18, 2008 at 11:54 am ET Winter finally has a grip on the Midwest as temperatures begin to drop into the single-digits with wind chills around -20 degrees. Every winter I think about how I’d love to move somewhere warmer, but it just isn’t that easy to do. Anyway, if you haven’t noticed, Jim from Blueprint for Financial Prosperity interviewed [...] ...

January 17, 2008 at 8:01 pm ET President Bush and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke today endorsed the idea of an economic stimulus package to boost the flagging economy, as Bush began discussions with congressional leaders on the next steps.

January 16, 2008 at 1:06 pm ET I briefly recall hearing about something like this a couple years ago, but I didn’t pay much attention because I didn’t think it would ever come into fruition. Well, I guess I was wrong. The 401k debit card is real, and more companies are beginning to adopt it. As if it wasn’t bad enough [...] ...

January 14, 2008 at 9:34 pm ET On Tuesday the 15th, I’ll be hosting a personal finance chat with Lazy Man over at the 40s chat at Grab.com at 7 pm EST.

January 14, 2008 at 3:06 pm ET After closing ten years ago in 1997 to new investments, Fidelity reopens the Magellan fund today. If you did any investing in the 1980s or early 1990s, you are probably familiar with this fund. The Magellan fund put the now-famous Peter Lynch on the map as an investing superstar while he ran the fund [...] ...

January 11, 2008 at 9:05 pm ET I don’t have a lot to say other than I’m so glad it’s Friday. This week has been brutal trying to service clients who are freaking out because of what they hear on the news about the stock market. To further compound the issue, our 4th quarter statements went out with a calculation error [...] ... (more) Wednesday, January 9, 2008 Poll: How Frugal Are You? (19 clicks)
From Generation X Finance - view blog entries - visit this blog
January 9, 2008 at 12:03 pm ET By definition, frugal means:
Economical in use or expenditure; prudently saving or sparing; not wasteful.
In a basic sense, I think most people are frugal to some extent, but clearly there are varying degrees of frugal. Some people will go to great lengths to save as much as possible, while others may only practice frugality on [...] ...

January 7, 2008 at 2:58 pm ET My job has good and bad periods, and when the markets are up, everyone loves me and I hear nothing but good things. But at the same time, as soon as the markets begin to show some weakness, my phone is ringing constantly with worried investors. While you can occasionally talk some sense into [...] ...

January 6, 2008 at 5:37 pm ET This comes a few days late as I’ve been just completely swamped. Hopefully this week begins to calm down and I can get back on track. But enough chit-chat, let’s get right to the links.

January 2, 2008 at 12:41 pm ET Without a doubt, the higher prices at the pump can really be felt in more ways than one. It not only directly costs more to fill up your tank, but the overall higher cost of oil and gas trickles down to increase the cost of almost everything we buy. These higher prices can even [...] ...

January 1, 2008 at 12:41 am ET 2007 has come and gone, and a new year is already upon us. So, what do you have in store for the new year? I’ll leave this as an opportunity to allow readers to chime in with their financial goals or resolutions. For my wife and I, 2008 is the year of increasing [...] ...

December 31, 2007 at 12:22 pm ET As we close out the year I wanted to take the time to highlight some of the best posts from the past year. I’ve never really linked back to older articles before, in part because when I look back on some of the old articles, I realize how poorly some are written. Nevertheless, there [...] ...

December 28, 2007 at 12:34 pm ET According to an Earth-shattering study, teenagers don’t save for retirement. From the CNN article:
Teenagers flipping burgers, stocking shelves or studying for finals don’t think about their retirement.
Sarcasm aside, I don’t think anyone should be too shocked by these findings. Look back to your high school days and whatever part-time job you had. If you [...] ... (more) Monday, December 24, 2007 Merry Christmas Everyone (7 clicks)

December 24, 2007 at 11:37 am ET For those of you who celebrate it, Merry Christmas! Hopefully you have some time set aside to spend with your loved ones and can share gifts, good food, and good times. Hopefully your holiday break starts off better than mine. On Saturday that nasty winter storm came through the midwest and we experienced winds of over 70 mph. Some minimal damage to our house, but we lost power for over 24 hours. Since we had no heat, we had to rearrange our travel plans and barge in on relatives a day early.
Even so, I look forward to some ... (more) Friday, December 21, 2007 Friday Finance Findings For December 21st (7 clicks)

December 20, 2007 at 8:03 pm ET There is no shortage of investment information available, so with that I thought it would be interesting to see where most people go when researching stocks, mutual funds, or ETFs. I have to admit, I am a Morningstar fan when it comes to getting detailed information, but for just getting a quick quote or something I usually just hop over to Yahoo! Finance and punch in the ticker.
Note: There is a poll within this post, please visit the site to participate in this post’s poll.

December 19, 2007 at 9:24 am ET On Tuesday the Fed moved one step in the right direction towards reducing the shady lending practices that have put this country in a difficult situation. If you haven’t heard, the real estate market and financial sector has been in a lot of trouble recently due to some questionable lending practices combined with consumer [...] ...

December 18, 2007 at 10:25 am ET About a month ago I had posted an announcement regarding the first of six podcasts (actually just individual MP3 files) that I put together finally went live as part of the About.com and Charles Schwab special that addresses some financial concerns for Generation X. Today you can find three additional audio segments that I [...] ... (more) Sunday, December 16, 2007 From Generation X Finance - view blog entries - visit this blog

December 14, 2007 at 10:28 am ET As anticipated, this past week was about as bad as it gets. Between driving through the ice storm, waking up at 4am every morning, and staying at a crappy hotel, I’m glad to be home. I can’t wait for the weekend so I can catch up on sleep and finally regain some energy. But [...] ...

December 13, 2007 at 12:53 pm ET Asset allocation is simply creating a portfolio with holdings among a number of different assets such as stocks, bonds, real estate, or cash. The goal of asset allocation is to create a portfolio in a way that meets your particular needs, minimize risk, and meets investment objectives.
The three major asset allocation strategies are:

December 10, 2007 at 7:20 pm ET If this article at CNN doesn’t illustrate how screwed up people are when it comes to money, I don’t know what does. I keep hearing the argument that mortgage brokers are evil and have caused this real estate mess, and while that may be true, for every bad broker, there are just as many [...] ...
