I Resigned as the Investing for Beginners Guide at About.com
After nearly seventeen years, it is time for me to resign from my role as the Investing for Beginners Guide at About.com (now the Investing for Beginners Expert at TheBalance.com).
A Letter from Josh & Aaron
As many of you noticed, Aaron and I went radio silent more than a month ago. This was entirely due to the fact that we are spending nearly every waking moment in the final stages of establishing Kennon-Green & Co., the asset management firm that we hope to have open within the next sixty to ninety days if all goes as planned.
Big Changes at My Investing for Beginners Site
Although it may seem like I haven’t been around much lately, reality is far different. I’ve been quietly publishing more than I have in years, it’s just hidden. Kind of. As part of the upgrades to the Investing for Beginners site that are happening, I’m putting in quite a bit of time in the midst of everything else going on, often releasing 10,000+ words per month.
I Have Published a Directory of the Past 15 Years of My Work on Investing for Beginners at About.com
Those of you who wish to read my writing at Investing for Beginners can now navigate my body of work much more easily thanks to a directory I built over the past week. It’s a productive copy for my own internal use as part of a planned upgrade project I’ll be doing in the coming year (as such, it…
Blog Demographics 2015 Edition: If Life Were a Game, You Would Be Champions
It’s time for our annual review of the blog community demographics! Actually, I hadn’t realized it since we’re busy launching the global asset management firm but a few of you sent me messages asking where it was so I wanted to take some time out to get the latest numbers up for you.

Blog Demographics 2014 Edition: You Are Richer, Better Educated, and Have More Kids
Like the residents of Lake Wobegon, another year of better data analytics and audience growth has cemented what we’ve already known: As a group, you’re way above average. You are considerably richer and better educated the average person in the United States, more likely to identify as politically independent, more likely to have children, and skew…
Updated Site Demographic Data Shows a Clearer Picture of Who You Are
With another six months of data, the demographic story on who you, the readers, are is becoming clearer than it was with the preliminary numbers published back in February. (Too bad this isn’t a television show. With numbers like this, I’d be running a major network.) You are far more interested in the following topics…
An Inside Look at the Site’s Demographics: A Breakdown of the Readers
As promised several months ago, we implemented demographic tracking on the site to the list of other abilities we have and are now collecting data. Using one popular source, which will improve over time as a bigger sample is developed, the trend that is showing up everywhere is evident. It should only get better as…
Live Interview on the Armstrong & Getty Show This Morning
If you were driving to work in Sacramento or San Francisco this morning, you might have heard me during your commute. I did a live interview with the Armstrong & Getty Show (airing on KSTE-AM in Sacramento, California and KNEW-AM Fox News Radio in San Francisco) at 7 a.m. Pacific Standard Time. For years,…
