Coming up on Sound Investing

The unsettled stock market continued its wide swings this week leaving many breathless.  How can anyone account for a 10 percent gain one day of trading?  Our program discusses some of the reasons the market is so volatile, and how knowing some of the story should make you a better investor.

Does history mean anything when it comes to investing?  We think so, and that’s why it’s a pleasure to interview Jeffery Hirsch, the editor in chief of Stock Traders Almanac 2009.  Hear his perspective on the recent market gyrations, and what could lie ahead.

In uncertain times you can count on gold, right?  Not this time. Gold’s recent slump is bewildering experts.  Find out why all that glitters isn’t gold.

Is it a Myth or Reality: Bonds make more than stocks in the long run.  We’ll give you the answer.

Plus, Paul’s Outrage: A 28 year old bailing out of stocks?!
