Wednesday is all about personal finance here at Abnormal Returns. You can check out last week’s links including why getting started in investing is so difficult.
Quote of the Day
"(F)inancial service companies do not introduce new products that make less money (why would they?). Therefore, new products will be a bad deal for you. Always default to the older (or oldest) financial products available."
