ModernGraham’s Friday Linkfest – #2

Each Friday, I will be posting a list of the best links of the week.  I’ll collect what I find most interesting during the week, and will take submissions of articles that readers find interesting.

Best of the week from ModernGraham’s Reading List:

• ValueInvestingPro posted Value Fund Q3 2009 Performance.
• Darwin’s Finance posted How to Get your Market Losses Back Now! and a post about Gold Hype.
• Speaking of Gold, here’s INO’s latest video on the issue.
• Dividends Value had some great posts this week:
  • 7 Dividend Stocks Paying More Cash
  • 3 Dividend Stocks with a Perfect Risk Score
  • 10 Best U.S. Dividend Stocks
• The Sun’s Financial Diary posted a great chart on the unemployment rate.
• MoneyNing posted How to Save Money When Traveling to London.
• The Reformed Broker had an outstanding chart on unemployment that compare where it was estimated to be with the stimulus to where it actually turned out.
• Christian Personal Finance looked at some basics of stock market investing.

• The Dividend Guy Blog asked Do High Yield Stocks Mean Lower Returns?

Now, some other thoughts – I received a few submissions this week but they were all from the bloggers themselves.  As the goal of this linkfest is to highlight what people find to be the best reads of the week, I am not including submissions from the author of the article/post.  If you are a blogger and want to be included here, please submit something that you have READ, not written.

A review of the rules of the ModernGraham Friday Linkfest:

• The deadline is Wednesday nights at midnight.
• If you have a blog of your own, please do not submit your own posts.  If you include a link to your website in the remarks section of the submitting form, I will be sure to note (and link to) your site.
• A preference is made towards posts and articles that deal with investing; however, there are countless other topics that are extremely interesting.  The “deal with investing” guideline will be defined very broadly.
• I will separate the links that I find interesting from the links that are submitted by others.
• Please submit as many articles that you want; however, if you are planning to submit more than 2 or 3, please e-mail me direct with a list.  If you submit 5 or more, I will separate your submissions from the rest.
