JLP takes a look at load vs. no-load mutual funds.
Over at raising4boys.com, I talked about the danger of letting your kids get their hands on your checkbook.
Jeffrey has some tips to oursmart your Black Friday competition.
Finally, I wanted to point out a couple of brand-spanking-new personal finance blogs that have been kind enough to link to me:

Thanks for the quick mention. While I hoped to get the site off the ground quickly, we had a death in our immediate family and needed to travel, so hopefully next week my new site will be up and running.
Thanks FCN!
Comment by David — Nov 12th 2006 @ 5:51 pmI saw your trackback on Jeffery’s article about Black Friday ads.
Since you mentioned “open enrollment” have you talked with your readers about the benefits of a HDHP and HSA accounts and the potential power of letting your savings grow tax-free in a higher interest checking account or mutual fund?
Just a thought, might be a good article. I work for First Horizon Msaver (http://www.firsthorizonmsaver.com) and we specialize in HSAs. Email me if you are interested in more info — could be good for your blog!
Thanks, Later!
