PF Reading, Listening, Watching, Carnivals (best of the best)

Posted by Sean | Posted under Best-Of, Carnivals | June 10, 2008

Each week, I’ll compile a list of favorites from across the financial media. This first week is a mini-version. Subsequent lists will have more items, as my bookmarking improves.

Reading

Buffett’s Big Bet — Warren Buffett bets on the S&P index vs. a basket of hedge funds.

"Buffett himself assesses his chances of winning at only 60%"
"Protégé figures its own probabilities of winning at a heady 85%"

American workers are choosing China — less-covered aspect of jobs going overseas.

Airlines roll back fair hikes — supposedly the first rollback after a string of increases.

Guarding Against the Invasion of Stuff — less clutter, more sanity, what’s not to like.

The 8 Levels of (Passive) Income — helpful to weigh investments vs. available time.

Listening

(iTunes) Your Money With Chuck Jaffe, includes an interview with Ronald T. Wilcox, author of the new book, "Thrift isn’t dead, but it could use some government life support" (skip ahead 10 minutes to miss a bunch of unrelated technical-analysis.)

Watching

(youtube) Marketplace, "Do you have any advice on a simple way to invest ethically?"
A brief overview of SRI. (site: youtube.com, length: 3:25, added: 2007-12-31)

(youtube) The Official Google Channel, "Social Impact Investing - Jackie Khor"
A more in-depth look. (site: youtube.com, length: 29:13, added: July 16, 2007)

Carnivals

Financial Ramblings was lucky to be an editor’s pick at 2 of 4 carnivals this week:
Carnival of Personal Finance (Spreadsheet: New Car Cost vs Old Car Cost, v1.0)
Carnival of Financial Goals (Goal: Save $500 in Books in 2008)

Carnival of Personal Finance… my pick, "What To Do With Wildly Inconsistent Stock Advice…" — applicable to everything financial, non-financial…

Carnival of Financial Goals… my pick, "Deciding What to Do With Your 401(k) When You Change Jobs " — I like the structure, good for reference.

Carnival of Money Hacks… my pick, "Optimize Your Banking for International Travel" — very practical, I’m saving it for this time next year.

Festival of Frugality… my pick, "Is it Cool to be Frugal? 10 Frugal Practices You’ve Always Done That Are Now “In” Again" — nice!

    “Warren Buffet bets on the S&P index vs. a basket of hedge funds.” I think that article is a good section on all the fees that go into mutual funds.

    If I may, maybe one of these days you could do a breakdown/comparison of the “typical” fees funds charge and compare to the S&P. Similar to the article section but maybe a little more detail? Don’t know how many resources there are out there on it, but I would be interested in that.
