MMM-070: Selling Something?
Are all other business podcasts selling something of their own? Did the S&P 500 return 0% for 34 years? A tool to help get the answer. I give away a copy of Index Funds – The 12-Step Program for Active Investors. Smackdown is now a word.

Paul,
Love the show. So someone is upset that you do homework? Well, at least it is productive homework! BTW, after following the show, learning about ETF’s and putting my own boring plan into action I am easily beating Cramer. Though, that is probably a given for anyone who follows the efficient market wisdom.
If you need pencils, let us know.

Dear Paul,
Thanks for your great blog. It really changed how I view the investment world. I hope that you will have more to say about ETF’s and your own personal choices.
Keep up the good work. I wait for your forecast every week and hope that my donation will support your efforts.

PS, What is the name of your theme song?
