Welcome to Investing Sense!

"Investing Sense" is all about you and your investments. If you're a listener of the show, you know that there are some things we talk about more than others: education savings, retirement savings, and retirement spending.

We organize the site in a similar manner: you'll be able to learn the same things, but here we have the ability to go into more detail about different aspects of the same information.

What's New This Week?

As you know, it's really the callers who dictate the subject matter each week. I try to cover some broad-based ideas, though, and this week's show covers some of the following topics:


• Measuring the risk tolerance of the markets with VIX

• Measuring your own risk tolerance with investor assessments

• Fighting the urges to buy and sell at exactly the wrong times
