Meet Denny Smith

Longtime host of Investing Sense, heard Saturday afternoons on WIBC, Denny Smith takes over the 7-9pm time slot weeknights as the host of the new program "Everything Money."

With more than 35 years as a businessman in the Indianapolis area, Denny has the experience and background to be the one who guides WIBC listeners with their financial questions.

Denny, who operates The Mutual Fund Store in Indianapolis, is a graduate of Speedway High School and Marion College. He is a Registered Investment Advisor who has also earned the designations of CRPC (Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor) and CMFC (Chartered Mutual Fund Counselor) from the College of Financial Planning.

Before opening his investment business, Denny owned and operated a well-known local plumbing company. He also directed the multi-state plumbing operations of a national mechanical firm. He has always been in the business of business and finance, and for many years he has been a speaker and instructor nationwide for both business and investing.

Denny and his wife Jane have been married for 35 years and they have one son, Andy, who is also an investment advisor at The Mutual Fund Store. Denny & Jane enjoy walking and rollerblading, and especially hiking the mountains and forests of America one trail at a time.

Sometimes we forget that the United States of America is the world's largest reservoir of opportunity.

Upon graduation, we ought to require every high school student to memorize this Jessie Rittenhouse poem BEFORE receiving their diploma:

My Wage

I bargained with Life for a penny,
And Life would pay no more,
However I begged at evening
When I counted my scanty store.

For Life is a just employer,
He gives you what you ask,
But once you have set the wages,
Why, you must bear the task.

I worked for a menial’s hire,
Only to learn, dismayed,
That any wage I had asked of Life,
Life would have willingly paid.
