Birthday Bash: The Festival of Stocks
Starting last week we have been celebrating our birthday and the first blogiversary for Stock Market Beat. Last week we hosted both the Carnival of Personal Finance and the Carnival of Investing as part of the celebration. With our birthday (and the honorary blogiversary since the first post was close enough at March 8) on Wednesday, we turn on another party – one that really fits for Stock Market Beat – the Festival of Stocks! Unfortunately many of the posts submitted had nothing to do with stocks.
In the past month we also took over an online resource called Financial Education. Check it out when you get a chance. Now on to the posts!
