My First Carnival of Personal Finance Participation

I have been reading posts on Pfblogs for almost four months and the Carnival of Personal Finance is no stranger to me. However, so far my only participation (if I can call it "participation" at all) was reading posts selected by the editor. I never attempted to submit any entry to the carnival, though I thought I had a couple of good ones in the past two months. 

Well, this is about to change as I submitted two entries to the next issue of Carnival of Personal Finance , hosted at Everybody Loves Your Money. The two entries are

• Am I paying too much for my 401(k)? in which  I took a look at the fees I paid for the four mutual funds in my 401(k) account and explained what those fees are and how and where you can check yours.
• 401(k) performance: Traders vs Rebalancer, an entry that I wrote based on a recent study on 401(k) performance between those who trade actively in their 401(k) accounts and those who simply rebalance their accounts periodically. I also showed an example of how to rebalance a simple portfolio.

Whether my posts will make into the carnival or not is not important. What's important is the participation (not those just-reading kind of participation). To see how you can participate, click here and read the submission guidelines.
