I’m happy to be hosting the 28th installment of the Carnival of Investing this week. There are nearly 30 posts in this week’s edition and while I haven’t read them all yet, the ones I have appear to be pretty well written.

Special thanks to Jonathan at MyMoneyBlog for keeping the Carnival going. Next week’s host will be Mighty Bargain Hunter.

I’ve broken the posts down into some high level categories. Posts are mainly organized in the order received with a couple exceptions where the posts were on similar topics. All links will open in a named window so as to keep your desktop from getting cluttered. Please leave a comment if you spot anything wrong or to let me know what you think of how I’ve organized things (good or bad).

Enjoy the Carnival!
