More info at MadMoneyMachine.com.By: hanks1415- July 15, 2007 I've got a potential discussion question for a future show: I'm a relatively recent college grad that just finished taking the GMAT test in preparation for applying for an MBA, and was pleasantly surprised with a great score. As a Chicago resident, and a student of the MMM (and the resulting learning about Fama & French's work on the markets), I'm thinking that the University of Chicago would be a great option. (Assuming I could get in) I would love to make a career out of helping others...http://madmoneymachine.com/2007/07/07/mmm-069/#comment-12131 By: Rick and Beth- July 14, 2007 Thanks for all the motivation. Whenever CNBC draws me in and convinces me of a stock that I have to buy, I just listen to your podcast and go play some video games. Thanks Paul!!http://madmoneymachine.com/2007/07/07/mmm-069/#comment-12128 By: dylster13- July 14, 2007 Great show PDB. Keep up the running and keep up the good show. Now I'd love to win that book!http://madmoneymachine.com/2007/07/07/mmm-069/#comment-12117 By: Top Dog- July 14, 2007 Paul, you helped push me to become an index fund investor. I planned out a multi-year conversion to index funds and did the tax-advantaged accounts first. Now on to individual stocks in taxable accounts-no expenses, but the diversification stinks. Also, the tax bite is extremely painful. That's why I am spreading the conversion out over several years. Thank you and stay invested.http://madmoneymachine.com/2007/07/07/mmm-069/#comment-12099 By: ananda- July 12, 2007 Greetings. Great Show, Thanks for your comparison of index portfolios. Well, the show got me to comment. I started getting into investing in the start of this year. I've read a dozen books and so far I am loving passive indexing. For fun I am trying to market time on VSE and it is proving to be difficult. Example, When I shorted REITs, they bounced back up. Then after I buy-to-cover to cut loses, they head down again .http://madmoneymachine.com/2007/07/07/mmm-069/#comment-12045 By: ravjim- July 11, 2007 I tried to post and it didn't save. Anyway, perhaps in addition to just having a stock picking portfolio a the Marketwatch game, perhaps we should also include an ETF game as well. Then again, we are SLOTHFUL folk.

BTW Paul, I would like a Boyerian view of ETF's comparing last year's picks to the ones from show 59. Clearly new ETF's have come 'online' and I am wondering if in a late fall show there would be a look back to the Boyer folio from 2006 and the show 59 suggested list.

For everyone that doesn't win it, it's definitely worth spending the paltry $20 at Amazon when they get the new printing. Much better deal than the Infinity razor.http://madmoneymachine.com/2007/07/07/mmm-069/#comment-11971 By: jwadethack- July 10, 2007 You're beginning to open my eyes to the benefits of the lazy man's investing strategy and I'd love to get a copy of "The Book" to gain more insight because don't quite have the $100K for IFA just yet (but hope to soon). Keep up the good work.http://madmoneymachine.com/2007/07/07/mmm-069/#comment-11970 By: olivr2- July 10, 2007 How about a MMM Nike+ challenge Because of you I just picked one up and it's looking pretty cool.http://madmoneymachine.com/2007/07/07/mmm-069/#comment-11961 |
