Investing is a very important subject matter that is often over looked by many young professionals, especially those just starting their careers. One suggestions that I would have is to start investing in your 401k as early as you can. Most companies will match up to 3% of your 401k contributions (YES - free money from your company). You will appreciate the law of compounding when you look at the value of your retirement plan in 30 years (given the stock/bond market remains efficient). I understand that not all readers have the ability to contribute to a 401k because they are self-employed. Regardless of your retirement plan, START INVESTING EARLY, it will pay great dividends in the future. Thanks, Tim Tim,

“Your data suggest little to no automatic preference between European American and African American.”

As it happens, I’m reading The Intelligent Investor right now. The original edition. Then I’ll read “Rule #1″.

Why invest in markets at all if you own a business to invest in? I believe that Warren Buffet says that diversification makes very little sense if you know what you are doing.
