This week on Sound Investing,

Stocks have been jumpy as of late.  The Dow Jones Industrial Average has traversed 13,000 and closed below 8,000 - all in the space of one year.  But there could be more reasons to worry; hedge fund redemptions, tax loss harvesting and other reasons investors have to sell stocks.  Here's why you might want to wait until February to watch stocks closely.

Many more hedge funds are likely to succumb in the next few months, according to a study by CitiCorp.  And hedge fund redemptions might top 50 percent.  Why should you care...listen to find out!

Is it a Myth or Reality:  You should have fun with part of your portfolio.

Plus, Paul’s Outrage:  A major money manager puts a conservative investor in all stocks.

Our guests include economist Bill Conerly of Conerly Consulting.
