Adding a Misinformed Category
March 30, 2007 by TFB
I'm adding a "misinformed" category to my blog. This is inspired by a post by Samerwriter — Common Personal Finance Myths — which challenged quite a few conventional wisdoms. I also often find myself shaking my head when I read personal finance articles on newspapers, magazines, and some of the popular but misinformed blogs. I will make a habit of calling out these misinformation and putting them in the new "misinformed" category. I have already done some of this in my past postings. The charter members of this new "misinformed" category include:
- Is Inflation Dead? — No way!
- Investing a Small Amount — stick to a mutual fund
- More Risk, More Reward? — undiversified risks are not rewarded
- Book Review: Elliott Wave Principle — don't go there
- Prosper.com Or Junk Bond Fund? — you might as well buy a junk bond fund
- Does Your Auto Insurance Cover Engine Failures? — No, it does not.
- Picking Stocks Is a Waste of Time — enough said.
I will do more like these in the future.
