On Gold Diggers and Transparency in the Finance Industry

Watch these 7 free video lessons on how I became a millionaire

The Disciplined Investor has a great 30 minute-ish podcast with yours truly, mainly about the lack of transparency in the finance industry. The site is run by a financial planner, Andrew Horowitz, who has also just released a new book by the same name. I’m only about halfway through
=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1196610420&sr=1-1″>The Disciplined Investor
(along with nearly a dozen other books, including some particularly good ones like Grace Cheng’s Forex book and a really, really, really long one), but I’ll be adding it to my library of recommended books since it gives a great overview of all the financial planning basics and is unusually understandable.

And, if you want to see my take on gold diggers, def. check out this new Timeout New York article. This important, yet rarely detailed subject, is incredibly relevant in today’s society, especially for those who earn over $200,000 annually. Perhaps even more important than the credit crisis and the housing industry. OK, maybe not more important than housing, but it’s close.

    TGIC grabbed my attention today as well… Tim what do you think about this one?

  • Cyn

    Haha…not high, just redneck that’s been texting more than posting & was in a hurry. By the way, Nice welcome committee.
    so…let me try again =)
    Few yrs. ago discovered stocks & that I was very good @ pickin the stock to invest in, but not patient enuf to wait on them to go up, so I stopped after bout the 5th stock I bought & sold to soon to make any $. some examples of past–I purchased a stock @ $6 was positive it would @least double, after bout 3 months I gave up & sold it, not long after i sold it went up to $33 share. This was my pattern-buy, sit, give up…sell & watch’em @least double.
    so i quit, cuz was make’n myself sick.
    Anywho, recently discovered the penny stocks & selling short. these two things seem to be more of what i was looking for..seem much faster not the sit & wait, so i’m ready to jump in! but i need help in doin so =) Is that any better…? LoL.
