Sound Advice newsletter: February edition

It took longer than it should have, but the second edition of my newsletter, Sound Advice, is out finally. Among other things, it touches on increased retirement plan contribution limits, a waiver of required minimum distributions for 2009 and my recent mention in the New York Times.

I hope to follow it up soon with next edition in early March. Click here to become a regular Sound Advice subscriber.

Sound Advice newsletter

The Sound Advice newsletter made its debut today after a long delay. I intended to begin publishing this personal finance newsletter for clients and friends alike back in September, but then the financial markets went into a tailspin. That forced me to devote my full attention elsewhere for some time.

The first edition of Sound Advice offers suggestions on ways to cope with the recent market turmoil and highlights the publication of Investing in an Uncertain Economy for Dummies.

The newsletter will be published monthly using iContact, which places a high priority on preventing spam. That means to receive Sound Advice on a regular basis you will need to subscribe and then confirm your subscription. This extra step can be cumbersome, but it ensures you will not be subjected to unwanted email.
