Very informative show this week on Consuelo Mack: WealthTrack. If you haven’t seen it yet on your local PBS station, stop by her site and watch it through her free “video on demand” service. It’ll be worth your time.
This week’s show seemed geared more towards average individual investors, those with 401k plans and the like.
Consuelo’s respected guests discussed current markets conditions, risk assessment, and strategies for building retirement wealth and income. As each of the three guests weren’t directly associated with any specific investment firm, their advice seemed more honest and less-biased.
Basically, what I took away from the program is – if you’ve bailed out on the stock market during this recession, it may now be about time to start to reconsidering a return to equities.
According to the show’s official announcement:
On this week’s Consuelo Mack WealthTrack – veteran global investor Bill Wilby on the changing values in global markets; personal financial advice on building financial security from New York Times “Your Money” columnist Ron Lieber; and strengthening your retirement income with Dallas Salisbury, President of the Employee Benefit Research Institute (EBRI).

Well I feel a little better then; I recently just put my 403b contributions back up to full matching, figuring the market has bottomed out to a certain degree. I’m going to check out this program; its nice to have resources for amateur or beginning investors/savers like myself. Hopefully, this is a fairly unbiased and balanced program- people like Suze Orman just give me the creeps sometimes.

Some of the stocks that were dirt cheap till last month, seem to have become a little overpriced / fairly priced.
But then that risk is their always right? I guess the best thing to do is to get a stock or two with strong fundamentals that have been performing very well even in recession.
