Frank Vertin presents Just Buy Index Funds Directly posted at NO LOAD INDEX FUND, saying, “Buying an S&P 500 index fund through an investment counselor can substantially increase your initial purchasing costs and and drive up your annual management expense fees. Unfortunately, the vast majority of individual investors buy mutual funds and ETFs through brokers and investment advisers. Rarely do financial advisors recommend that you buy index funds with low fees. This is because low cost, no load mutual funds do not pay them as well as loaded, high fee mutual funds.”
Larry Russell presents Most Individual Investors Are Poor Personal Portfolio Managers | Personal Investment Management posted at THE SKILLED INVESTOR Blog, saying, “Investors more easily understand investment costs that are directly measurable, such as fees deducted on investment statements. However, many investors ignore or are unaware of the opportunity costs of their sub-optimal investment behaviors. Opportunity costs are usually much more difficult to measure directly, but these investment costs can be even higher than more visible investment fees.”

Edward Smith presents About the Titanic | RMS Titanic Ship | Sinking of the Titanic posted at Sinking of the Titanic, saying, “Dimensions of the Titanic and capacity of the Titanic; Provisions for the comfort and entertainment of passengers of the Titanic and the army of attendants required.”
Jan Hendricks presents Cooking by Broiling | Cooking by Roasting | Roasting Meat posted at History of Cooking, saying, “Two conditions are necessary for good roasting - a clear bright fire and frequent basting. Next to boiling or stewing it is the most economical method of cooking. The meat at first should be placed close to a brisk fire for five minutes to coagulate the albumen. It should then be drawn back a short distance and roasted slowly.”
GrrlScientist presents Human Eyes Speak Volumes to Birds posted at Living the Scientific Life, saying, “Those of you who plan to go picnicking this spring, keep this story in mind: Those of you who go birding will know what I am talking about when I say that birds are so capable of reading human body language that they know when we are looking at them, which frequently causes them to hide from our gaze. However, this capacity has never before been scientifically studied in birds, until now, that is. A newly published paper has found that Eurasian jackdaws, a member of the crow family, are so socially sophisticated that they are better at interpreting human eye gaze and body language than are dogs or even our closest relatives, chimpanzees.”
Victor Schultz presents St. Peters Basilica | Michaelangelos Pieta | Pictures of the Vatican City, Rome, Italy posted at St. Peters Square, Vatican City, saying, “As you enter St. Peter’s Basilica, it is hard not to be awestruck by its vast size and sheer beauty. For example, as you walk in you will see some very large statutes to the side. While beautiful in their own right, I mention them as a reference point on the incredible size of the interior space. If you look up you will see writing and numbers that are carved into the upper wall just below the ceiling. While this text appears to be relatively small to the unaided eye, in fact the those carved letters and as tall as the large statutes you see to the sides as you enter.”
Mr Credit Card presents Delta Reserve Card posted at Ask Mr Credit Card, saying, “A Review of The Delta Reserve Card - How does it stack up against competing cards?”
Jack Clifton presents Refinishing a Redwood Deck posted at How to Build a Deck, saying, “The problem with having a planter in the middle of a deck is that it completely chopped up the space and made the deck far less useful than it otherwise might have been. A six foot by six foot planter almost in the center of an otherwise flat wood deck that was about 20 feet by 28 feet in overall dimensions was little short of idiotic, but I guess that everything is in the eye of the beholder.”
Barry Wright III presents Sundry Links and Thoughts posted at 3stylelife, saying, “A few marketing points; why we have to be good at design; why we don’t need artificial blog networks, and how to recommend something on Twitter.”
Barry Wright III presents Serendipity: Sprained Ankle Edition posted at 3stylelife, saying, “How do you respond to a bad event? A sprained ankle, a layoff, a change in plans? Do you use the new restriction as an opportunity, or let it force you into old habits?”
Walter W. Fouse presents 7 Ways to Pick the Best Noload Mutual Funds and ETFs posted at Best No Load Funds, saying, “The vast body of investment research studies show that there really are better approaches to buying and owning mutual funds and ETFs. You do not need to frantically chase fund performance. Performance chasing simply does not work.”
