Should You Buy Actively Managed ETFs?
Since exchange-traded funds (ETFs) were launched more than a decade ago, the trend in investing has been towards low-cost investing. People are shunning investments which charge an arm and a leg to do something many people feel they could do more easily and cost-effectively. This is the result of increased competition in the investment world or what I like to call – the democratization of the investment space.

Investors in index mutual funds – which invest client money passively to track an index – started… Read the whole article...Categories: Uncategorized Tags: Benchmark, Brainer, Consequence, Etfs, Exchange Traded Funds, Hard Time, Investments, Mutual Funds, Trillion
Transferring Brokerage Assets from E*Trade to TradeKing
When I learned about E*Trade selling their banking business to Discover, I knew my days with them were numbered (I later learned that only bank accounts with no brokerage relationships were moving… but alas the ball was already rolling).

Better Budgeting Software: YNAB or Quicken?
I lately received an e-mail from Reader Donald asking if I could do a immediate comparison in between You Need A Budget (YNAB) and Quicken. Getting lately used both to write a YNAB review and a Quicken 2010 review, I was familiar with both and could effortlessly share my ideas. To add a small colour to the discussion, which I hope you’ll join in on, is that Donald does his taxes utilizing TurboTax and the potentially seamless integration of Quicken and TurboTax “hobbles” him from purchasing YNAB.
