Several months ago Jeremy Siegel and Jeremy Schwartz wrote an Op-Ed piece in the Wall Street Journal that stated (not for the first time) their feelings that Treasury bonds are in a bubble, and they suggested that dividend-paying stocks are the answer to a Treasury bond market that they feel is dangerous.

Kevin O’Reilly quoted in NAPFA Advisor Magazine – Understanding Health Savings Accounts
The November, 2011 issue of NAPFA Advisor magazine features a very informative piece titled Understanding Health Savings Accounts.

Staying The Course
In the paper “The impact of staying invested during market turmoil“, Russell Investments presents some data demonstrating the consequences of several different courses of action during the 2008 financial downturn, through the end of 2010. The data shows what would have happened if a hypothetical investor had a $100,000 portfolio, and had invested 60% of […]

Quoted in Reuters: How parents of multiples tackle financial challenges

For instance, the first ETF in the US was created to fully replicate the S&P 500. As such, it theoretically invested in the […]

Will my triplet siblings prevent me from getting into Harvard?
Brother, Can You Spare Me an Admission Slot? I found an interesting article in the NY Times from a couple of years ago on the admission prospects for twins and triplets when they apply for the same college. The basic question the article seeks to resolve is “does the college candidacy of one sibling of the same class negatively […]

The Timelessness of The Millionaire Next Door
I resisted reading The Millionaire Next Door for a long time, because the title led me to the assumption that it was a get-rich-quick tome. I was very wrong about that, and I was disappointed that I waited so long. I’ve now read the book several times. Far from being a book in the genre of Rich Dad, […]
