Women Investors Rule!
This morning's segment with CBS3 was inspired by this post from fellow blogger Alan Roth, who says that women are better investors than men. Given my own experience as an advisor, I couldn't agree more! [video=458387]

For a while, people used to hear my last name (Schlesinger) and ask whether I was related to Dr. Laura.

I loved these two posts by Lynn O'Shaughnessy: the 20 Worst and Best-Paying College Degrees in 2010. The news is sobering for liberal arts majors (like yours truly). I discussed the bottom and top five with CBS3 this morning. [video=451521]
