I’m rereading The Four Pillars Of Investing by William Bernstein. This is a terrific book, that I highly recommend everyone interested in investing to read at least once. Bernstein is a remarkable mind who is able to take complex economic history and theory and calculations and distill them all down into a very readable and […]

Sacred Cows
Have I got an investment opportunity for you. You’re going to thank me for this one. Before I begin I want you to grab a piece of paper and a pencil and write down some important facts about this investment. I guess the first thing you’ll want to know is how to classify this investment. […]
Painting Portfolios
I’m thinking about monetizing the site. I’m ambivalent about adding advertising and affiliate links to my blog. But I’m strongly considering it. The main plus as I can see it is that it might bring me some more readers. I believe in my message. And I love writing. So this instinct to expand the reach […]
Portable Bliss
It’s no secret that I’m the tax dodgingest liberal that you’re ever going to meet. In a certain light this is hypocritical. I honestly believe in the power of government to make positive differences in it’s citizens lives. (Think the social safety net, education, antitrust enforcement, infrastructure investment, security, scientific seed money….) and yet here […]
Book Club and Free Prize!
It’s no news that I’m a huge fan of the white coat investor. James Dahle MD is, quite simply, one of my favorite bloggers. Which is funny, because in many ways, he is the antithesis of who I am. You have witnessed before my feeble powers of mathematics. My outsized confidence in my own mental […]
A Spoonful of Sugar
I think people get the wrong idea that saving money is a sacrifice. The way most people talk about saving for retirement makes it sound about as appetizing as a glass of wheatgrass juice following seven hours on a stationary bike at fat camp. When TV personalities advocate for saving more, they always seem do […]
What You Pay For…
This may surprise you, but I have not always been money obsessed. In fact, if you ask my mother what I was like when I was a boy, she’ll tell you that every year for my birthday I asked for the same sort of thing, be it a football, a baseball, or a soccer ball […]
Medical Schooling
Looking for today’s post? Disappointed at its apparent brevity? Don’t be. This is actually my longest and most thought out post to date. It’s just that you’ll have to do a little clicking to move over to richmondsavers.com (an excellent finance/travel site run by the talented Brad and Laura.) And you should check out you […]
Cliffs Notes: Triple Value
This may be a little bit Meta, but tonight’s blog post will be a blog post about another blogger’s blog post. (There are some blog posts that are so good, they demand separate blog posts about them.) The first such blog post that comes to mind for me is Mr. Money Mustache’s life altering post […]
Experts Agree
Sometimes while eating lunch, I will turn on the television in the doctors dining room in my hospital and watch CNBC. I basically just want to know how well the markets are doing that day. Owning stock is fun and watching The funds I’ve invested in go up and down is not unlike the thrill […]
