This is adapted from what Jason Zewig said in his website…i am not saying that this blog is even a speck of dust compared to what Jason does, but the expectations can always be built, right?

When it comes to investing, there’s a world of difference between good advice and advice that sounds good. The vast majority of personal finance commentary, both online and offline world, certainly sounds good enough — “put all your retirement money in stocks,” or “aggressive growth funds are the place to be,” or “small stocks return more than large stocks.” But there’s something odd about this kind of advice: It’s always asserted as if it’s true, and yet its truth is never proven.

Unfortunately, you can’t afford to take investing advice on faith. To prosper in the long run, you’ve got to be able to separate the good advice from the advice that just sounds good. My goal here is to try to help you do that. My job is to tell you that there are no strong rules in the world of investing. There are no postulates i.e. to say. You need to read and arrive at what works for you. Even Charlie Munger does not copy Warren Buffett. It just does not work that way.

This blog is designed to be a place where you can learn what you need in order to think for yourself as an investor. My job is to tease you, kindle you, rub you, irritate you and make you think. If you still do not think, it is my failure. One more to the cap. No, I do not mind adding a few caps.

I’ve also worked hard at keeping everything clear. There should be something here for everyone from the beginner to advanced investors. You should be able to find your way around and be able to tell at a glance what’s suitable for your level.  I’ve personally checked out every single link you’ll find here, in order to make sure the information and advice are reliable and worthwhile. My definition of a “good and safe” website has three parts:

1, it consistently delivers responsible advice that’s appropriate for long-term investors;

2, it does not bombard you with pop-up ads or try to sell you something with every mouse-click you make;

3, it does not capture your e-mail address or other personal information and use it for commercial gain.

I use Google ads and have been tempted to scrap it…but out of laziness have not done anything…seriously  insifnificant..
