My Best
Post viewed 747 times, 1 so far today
Early last week, FMF at Free Money Finance announced his own version of “March Madness,” competition of best posts from personal finance bloggers. I thought it’s a great idea to get a chance to read what other bloggers consider their best articles. Also since I have been writing on this Dairy for 6 months, it’s time to look back and see if this Diary has provided any values to the general audience.
If I am asked which one among the 423 posts I have written in the past six months is the best, I will have to say that I really like Dollar-Cost-Averaging: For Higher Return or for Lower Risk? and So How Bad is Dollar-Cost-Averaging? My Own Study of VFINX from 1988 - 2007. The reason is quite simple: I have heard a lot talks on dollar-cost-averaging and read many papers/books on this topic, but it’s more convincing when I use real data and do the calculation myself instead of taking whatever other people said as is. Also I like them because I spent quite some time doing research when writing them, even though they are not popular.
Speaking of popularity, if you Google electric orange, brokerage firms review, or t-bill rate, you will likely to find your way to this Diary. My posts are on top of the search returns, if not the first one on the list.

“brokerage firms review“: Discount Brokerage Firms: A Review of Scottrade, Firstrade, ShareBuilder, and QQQDirect
“t-bill rate“: T-Bill Investment Rate: Is it APR or APY? And What Is Your Taxable Equivalent Yield?
