Here are some recent personal finance articles I found around the web that are worth checking out:
- Where to put $500 now: a money-market account - My daughter has $500 and would like to invest in something she won't lose her money on, other than a bank certificate of deposit. Any suggestions?
- Love it or hate it, the 10% rule for selling stocks works - The "10% rule" is pretty controversial among Ask Matt readers. Some love the idea, some violently disagree. Essentially, the rule tells you to consider selling a stock if it falls 10% below the price you paid for it.
- Don't rely on home equity for cash - Thinking about tapping into your equity for a loan? That could be a dangerous move. In a financial crisis, you could be forced to sell your home or wind up in foreclosure.
- Ugly Credit Card Trends - Wonder what credit card companies have in stock for you in the coming year? It's no gift card. From fee hikes to new technologies that encourage spending, credit-card companies will look to improve their bottom line at your expense.
