Welcome Barron's Readers

Just a post to say "welcome" to all the Barron's readers visiting Free Money Finance. The piece caught me a bit off guard -- I'm actually on vacation and running "re-runs" the next week -- but I wanted to say thanks for stopping by. I also wanted to give you a bit of a tour of this blog and point to a few articles that give you a sense of what I write about.

As far as the tour goes, the left and right columns are your keys to all sorts of information. I currently have over 2,000 articles posted and they're all accessible through various avenues in these columns. For instance, using the columns you can:
