Hello All,

We are still enjoying the mild weather, lush surroundings and 80 degree weather of America’s Island state, Hawai’i, so we haven’t had much time to blog as extensively as we would have liked.

However, today’s headlines have brought some bad news for the stock picking Guru, Jim Cramer. Apparently Barron’s is reporting that Cramer’s buy and sell recommendations have NOT beaten the overall S&P 500 for the past two years. We could have told you this months ago! In fact, the folks over at Cramerwatch.org have found that Cramer does about as well as Leonard the electronic wonder monkey.

I like Cramer. The major problem is the guy has been a victim of his own success. He needs to provide content for his radio and television programming, so he makes too many stock picks. This tends to dilute his ability to usefully predict stock market performance.

Aloha and A hui ho.

MANAGE YOUR MONEY TOGETHER

Here are some simple guidelines for DINKS to build wealth:

1) Collaborate: Meet regularly to talk about money, set goals together, track and monitor them.

2) Understand and respect your partner. Take time to understand your partners values about money.

3) Watch the numbers. Get a budget, monitor your spending and track your net worth.

4) Max your retirement. Maximize contributions to your tax deferred retirement accounts.

5) Invest in stock. Stocks perform better than bonds or cash.

6) Avoid high interest debt. Credit cards and title loans are financial cancer.

7) Diversify. Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
