Happy New Year! Despite the reduced number of articles written over the holidays, I still found a few interesting things to read.
1. Many people advocate a “core and explore” approach to investing. This amounts to setting a solid core of investments plus a smaller amount of “play” money. When the advice comes from a financial advisor, it amounts to a core of index investments plus some explore money for active management. Larry Swedroe explains the evidence supporting this approach and then demolishes it in part 1 and part 2 of his article.
2. Preet went looking for Olympic hockey tickets to the men’s gold medal game. The price is unbelievable!
3. Big Cajun Man put together a carnival of money stories with a boxing theme.
Thanks for the mention.

Thanks for the link Michael. A few weeks ago I sent my brother tickets (five rows from the ice) for the Sens at Kings (he lives in LA) and the tickets were $75. A far cry from the Olympics, and even unheard of for Leafs tickets (against other poor teams, too).
