Bill Spohnholtz presents Squash the Gold Bug posted at Learn The Stock Market And How to Trade, saying, “If you’re as nervous as me about the economy you’ve probably considered buying your money in the backyard and sitting on it with your gun. Everyone on the radio or TV is telling you that you need to buy gold to shore up your investments, but I’m not so sure that’s your best bet either.”

Michael Haltman presents The Annual Report From The Oracle Of Omaha posted at The Political and Financial Markets Commentator, saying, “By year end, investors of all stripes were bloodied and confused, much as if they were small birds that had strayed into a badminton game. As the year progressed, a series of life-threatening problems within many of the world’s great financial institutions was unveiled. This led to a dysfunctional credit market that in important respects soon turned non-functional. The watchword throughout the country became the creed I saw on restaurant walls when I was young: “In God we trust; all others pay cash.””

nickel presents Alternatives to High Yield Savings Accounts posted at fivecentnickel.com.

Shaun Connell presents 7 Questions to Ask Yourself Before Buying a Car posted at Financial Planning, saying, “You’re spending several thousand dollars of your hard-earned money, so you can’t take the decision lightly. Don’t let a car dealer talk you into buying something you really don’t want and really can’t afford. Instead, ask yourself these questions before you buy the car.”

cody butler presents What Is A Money Market Account And How Does It work? posted at Investment-For-Beginners Blog, saying, “An introduction to money market accounts, what they are and how they work.”

Sun presents February 2009 Score Card — Part I: Net Worth posted at The Sun’s Financial Diary.

kathryn presents You Can Afford to Be Generous posted at Out of Debt Christian, saying, “This morning I decided to swing through the Dunkin Donuts drive thru to pick up a coffee and a bagel. As I pulled up to the window to pay for my breakfast the cashier told me, “The lady in front of you already paid for your order. She wanted me to tell you to have a nice day.” Stunned, I tried to get a glimpse of the lady in the minivan pulling out onto the road. I waved at her, but I’m not sure she saw me. Within seconds she was gone.”

JD presents The Global Debt Disease & How It Affects You posted at debthelpcreditrepairpro.com, saying, “The world, Americans included, is suffering from a serious disease – the disease of excessive debt. The problem has been an availability of very cheap credit in recent times, and no real regulation on who can or cannot take on debt. It has meant that many people have taken out credit cards and loans that they can barely afford. Sometimes, this has led to people taking large loans or mortgages for real estate they cannot realistically afford on their salaries. In other cases, it has resulted in people taking on several credit cards and blindly purchasing products & services and just “charging it”.”

Dave presents Roundup of Sites That Save You Money posted at Cheapo Groovo.
