I was thrilled by how the stock market performed during the first three weeks of November. It moved down — not up. It was a fabulous three weeks.

Investment Commissions Soon To Be Banned In The United Kingdom
Many people are still paying commissions to purchase investment products. High commissions entice many investment advisors to jump into bed with the fund company offering the hottest (commission) action. Is that cool? Nope. And some countries are banning the practice. In the United Kingdom, they’re banning such coziness. And an upstanding suitor is …

Odd Advisors Are Best
Most people wouldn’t want a loon managing their money. But perhaps they should reconsider. Low cost fee-based advisors—especially those building indexed portfolios—aren’t exactly normal.

Welcome! I’m Andrew Hallam
Many people aren't comfortable talking about money. It's not usually a conversational dinner-time topic, and its principles are rarely taught in schools. My goal is to have a "conversation" about it here, on this blog. If you read something you find intriguing, please comment or ask your questions!
I am also the author of the book: Millionaire Teacher: The Nine Rules of Wealth You Should Have Learned at School.
If you'd like to find out more about my investing philosophy, read my "Nine Laws to Financial Freedom."
