    @If_I_Had_a_Poodle: No kidding. I already have similar problems with about.com and experts-exchange.com. For anyone who is curious how to exclude specific sites from their Google searches, there are a number of blogs that discuss it. I won't endorse one more than any other, so try [www.google.com] to start with.

    Or, as iplaudius points out below, your favorite browser (Firefox) likely offers a host of 3rd-party extensions to exclude unwanted search results.

    I look forward to “block AOL content” features on Firefox, Google, and likely every ISP worth its salt.

    Gawker is running Craigslist ads for media jobs that don't pay as if they were news. This is the very definition of "bottoming out."

    @GooberSaysHey: Read the cover a little more carefully; there's a fairly cutting joke there about the kind of people who can actually afford to buy the things they see in Vogue.

    It's quite surprising to see all these Gawker commenters claiming to be satisfied customers of Suze Orman's. What exactly do you suppose is going on here?

    "But dollar-cost averaging - steadily investing in the stock market over time as prices rise and fall - is generally regarded as better than the alternative, which is trying to time the market"


    No. The alternative is all in once you have the money (this is why a 401k isn't DCA; you don't have the money). When people do the math on DCA, they find all it doesn't help because you generally miss out on gains.

    @sample032: And isn't dollar cost averaging timing the market, anyway? If you thought it was going up, you'd buy everything today. Dollar cost averaging is "I think I should invest, but I'm scared that it will go down." (Hint: maybe you're in the wrong asset class if you're worried)

    @sample032: I read that study. It generated its figures by looking at a pretty atypical period in the market (1996-1999), which just shows how easy it is to lie with statistics.

    Bad clothing choices aside, I love Suze. She tells it like it is to people who need to hear it. Have you seen her "Can I afford it?" segment on her CNBC show? The idiocy of most people is astounding. Like, I make $45k a year have a $2k/mo mortgage payment and $30k in credit card debt. I want to take a first class trip around the world.....um, no, you cannot afford it.


    Also, John Belushi's wife was her college roommate. I think she's a cool lady.
