Weekly Dividend Investing Roundup - December 7, 2007 Edition

Written by The Dividend Guy on December 7, 2007

Weekly Roundup

Investing is sexy and never seems to slow down! Here we are with 3 weeks to the holiday break (Christmas is our family) and the blogging world does not appear to be slowing down. In fact, I would suggest that things are accelerating with the introduction of a new carnival - the Carnival of Financial Goals. This was a good idea and I look forward to future editions as I firmly beleive that without good goals we just thrash around. Be sure to check the Carnival out. This week’s Roundup is full of cool articles so please have a look.

Carnivals I Participated In

The Carnival of Personal Finance #129 - World Currencies Edition

Carnival of Everything Finance #8 - Investment Education Edition

Investment Basics Carnival #2

The 37th Carnival of Money Stories

65th Festival of Stocks

Other Great Articles and Posts

JLP at AllFinancialMatters has a good multiple part post about Total Market Indexes versus Sector Investing. It is something that I have not thought of before in my own portfolio, at least from an index perspective.

A few weeks ago there was some interesting discussion going on about one of Canada’s leading financial journalists trying to defend the use of mutual funds. Canadian Capitalist reminded me about this debate. It is pretty clear from Investing Intelligently’s rebuttal that our little blog world hear disagrees with him.

People are scared of math - I know I can be! However, as investors there is no way to avoid math as much of what we do relies on it to select stocks. Sasha at Consumerism Commentary wrote about 5 ways to get over your math anxiety.

The subprime stuff is a total mess and those financial stocks with the wicked dividend yields may be tempting, but be careful. Fannie Mae has just cut its dividend. I recently bought some Citigroup and don’t want them to do that!

Living Off Dividends has a new staff member - Warren Buffet. He recently bought some Berkshire and is looking forward to heading out to the annual meeting.

I have been working on my articles for next week and look forward to getting those out! Thanks for reading and visiting The Dividend Guy blog.
