I don't often get to mix rap music with investing, but thankfully 50 Cent (aka Curtis J. Jackson III) provided great fodder this week. I discussed what investors could learn from the rap artist's recent foray into stock picking. My friends at CBS3 anointed me with a potential rap name to be used in the future--I can see it now "Jillie Jill on Money"!
