Huh! what sort of headline is that? I dunno, but it seems like every pf blogger is giving fancy titles on their roundup posts. Which probably makes sense given that it’s boring to keep saying “weekly roundup”! So here are my top picks (very few – but I’m very picky)

Hack Your Credit Score by Lazy Man and Money is either an ingenious idea or something not very ethical? You decide.

Millionaire Mommy ask if the perfect financial storm is brewing?. Well, if you read her post, you will know what her views are (which is that the perfect storm is brewing). What is impressive about her is that she acts on her views. She has no US equities. Kudos to her for having the guts to act on her views and opinions and not follow the usual crowd of “invest for the long term” blah. Just for the record – the S&P since the beginning of 2000 till today is flat. Yes, you’ve heard it flat! So to those “low cost index investors”, how would you justify indexing? (especially for retirees?). Credit to Millionaire Mommy for daring to be unconventional.

Rebnt instead of ing?. Nice post by SVB on this topic. I do not think it applies to everything. But come to think of it, how many times do you actually use those tools in your garage?

Finally, just wanted to highlight my participation in the 143rd Carnival of Personal Finance.
