  More and more hedge funds are running into liquidity problems, and a number are shuttering their operations.  It turns out that it hasn’t been so simple or that easy to make big bucks in these secretive investments.  But if you aren’t in a hedge fund should you care?  Yes, because they provide great lessons for investors.  Paul, Tom and Don share their insights.

We love index funds.  But we really love Dimensional Fund Advisor mutual funds: they take indexing to new level.  Hear how they do that as we interview Robert T. Deere, Dimensional’s Investment Director and Senior Portfolio Manager.

Are the far frontiers a place to find hidden gems?  Can you make big bucks in Vietnam, India, China or other emerging markets?  That hasn’t been the case in 2007.  How much money should you place in emerging markets?  We’ll give you our suggestions.

Is it a Myth or reality: the key to being successful investor is staying calm and staying the course.  Paul helps you decide.

You’ll also learn how far some businesses will go to use the high price of gas as a promotion.  That includes the world’s oldest business...

Finally, hear Paul’s Outrage: Why Wall Street’s “right way to invest” is really the wrong way.

Have a great week!
