Simple Steps to a Better Retirement Plan
2012-02-07 16:13:00 In a couple days, I’ll be heading down to Orlando to attend the 2012 World MoneyShow. I always enjoy my time at this annual event because it gives me a chance to interact with other investors on a more personal level. I get to hear what they’re thinking about … to discuss the investments they’re using … and to talk more about the challenges and opportunities that they’re facing. For the third year in a row, I’ll also be sharing some of my big-picture ideas, strategies, and investing ideas in a special workshop. And if you’re planning on coming to the show, I hope you’ll attend! Of course, either way, I wanted to give you a . . . → Read More: Simple Steps to a Better Retirement Plan

OUTSOURCING COLLEGE EDUCATION
2012-01-31 07:43:00 Foreign Policy magazine recently published an eye-opening article about the economic value of an education abroad. What they did was compare the median cost of one year of an American undergraduate education ($9,000 USD) with that of an average international one ($4,000 USD). While money wasn't the only factor explored (there's also the question of quality, of course), the article does point out some rather startling examples, like how even though South Africa's University of Cape Town has a higher QS ranking than The University of Notre Dame, attending the latter is a whopping $32,000 USD more. Incredible! Check out the full piece here.

FEDEX SCAM
2012-01-26 18:29:00 We were recently informed about a scam involving FedEx that's been making rounds and alerting watchdogs. The scheme involves getting a hold of a person's checking information and swiping $500 to open up a new FedEx account. Then there's another jux (possible supplement) that involves receiving an anonymous check for a large sum that's addressed to and from unknown parties. The goal is to entice the receiver to cash it so that it bounces and their account info gets snagged. Watch out for both!

Putting a Gleam in Your IRA
2011-12-02 21:57:00 By Terry Coxon, Casey Research You likely have seen invitations to open a "Gold IRA" or something with a similar name. Perhaps you should, but before you do, think about why an Individual Retirement Account might or might not be a good place to hold gold. That may tell you something about the best way to introduce gold into your IRA. Gold isn’t the only investment that raises the "Does it belong in an IRA?" question. Every investment does. And for every investment, the answer is, "It depends." It depends on the nature of the other assets in your overall portfolio. It depends on how big the IRA is compared to your total holdings.
