Short Takes: Unrealistic Expectations for Stocks and more

1. Jason Zweig finds that people have unrealistic expectations about stock market returns. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

2. Both Preet and Patrick shared their takes on the efficient market hypothesis. I’ve struggled with this one myself, and I’m stilling mulling over their ideas.

3. Larry MacDonald explores Milevsky’s idea that homeowners need to own more bonds. I’ll need more convincing on this one.

4. Potato lowered the stress level on a move by getting a library to take a donation of many of his unwanted books.

5. Big Cajun Man runs into some unexpected costs during a hospital visit.

  1. Anybody want to buy a set of gently used crutches? I guess I'll store them in my basement, if there is room down there.

    Have a spectacular weekend.

    Did you see Larry McDonald's latest article on renting vs. buying a home? Someone whose blog you read is featured prominently. :-)

  3. Thanks for the link Michael. Big Crutchy Man might want to apply to be on "Hoarders" the TV show. :)
