Finally, I’ve joined the thousands ( millions? ) of folks using Twitter to communicate online. I’m just a Twitter novice so far, but I’m doing my best to learn quickly. To help get things started, I’m asking all my readers to follow Llama Money on Twitter. You’ll get to see all my tweets, ask me [...]
Welcome to the January 28, 2009 edition of the carnival of net worth – #12 in the series. This time there were a TON of submissions, many of which had nothing at all to do with net worth!

That’s not entirely correct – you can still get 10 free stock trades per month if you have over $25,000 in assets with Zecco.

Today I bring you : The State of the Llamafolio. For the newcomers out there, the Llamafolio is my stock portfolio. Currently I use Zecco as my brokerage, and I’ve been very happy with them. What I haven’t been happy with, of course, is the performance of my stock purchases. Stocks haven’t exactly had a [...]

As I mentioned in my last post, I decided to invest a little more in my Zecco account. The two stocks I chose were GE and BAC. GE was easy – it’s a long-term winner which has been battered due to the recession. It’s pretty much a no brainer at the current levels – I [...]
Things have been tough lately, that’s no secret. For those who have lost their jobs, investing is no longer a concern so much as finding a new job and putting food on the table.
