Today I'm very excited to launch The Spam Free Investing And Personal Finance Blog Carnival. If you're unfamiliar with what a blog carnival is, it's basically a themed link roundup that is hosted from blog to blog. The main goal of this particular carnival is to post the most helpful and spam free articles from around the blogosphere. This means you won't find any articles pressuring you to buy anything or sign up for anything, these links will be safe! Well, without any further ado, here are the links:

Charles presents What Winners Do To Win posted at The Kirk Report, "Traders who outperform everyone else have an above average tendency for very strong comebacks."

Leslie Brown presents The Definitive Silver ETF Guide (Five Minute Edition) posted at ETFdb, saying, "A commodity like silver will generally act as a hedge against bear stock markets, so it’s no surprise that the popularity of precious metal ETFs has surged in the last few years."

Joanne presents Core Position posted at Stock Market Basics.

Silicon Valley Blogger presents How To Trade Stocks, Profiles of Stock Traders posted at The Digerati Life, saying, "Thanks! Looking forward to the carnival."

J presents If I could move back in with my parents..., "According to our monthly expenses, we'd save roughly $3,000 a month! My freedom is enjoyable, but is it really worth $3,000? And on top of that, all the stuff that un-minimalizes us? I gotta admit, if I weren't married and/or living 2 hours away I'd at least give it a shot. That is, if they upgraded from AOL dial-up and got HDTV ;) Only halfway joking there..."

Philip presents Why Do Competing Stores Open Up Next To Each Other?, "How can this make sense? I recall dozens of conversations with my father as a child while driving through town on the way to church. Whether it was fast food, grocery, or one of the stores above, it made no sense to us that a competitor would open next door. Why go through all the effort to steal customers from your competitor when you could just open in a virgin location and tap the new market?"

ManShu presents Is P/E Ratio a fair indicator of market levels? posted at OneMint, "However, if you are a long term investor, who invests his surplus in the stock market, this information can be useful. It can save you from investing at peaks, and selling at bottoms. If you have a long enough horizon, can wait for the market to rebound, and invest in fundamentally good companies, — this ratio can help you get bargains."

Steve Patterson presents Gold: Don’t Fight the Trend posted at FastSwings.com - Steve Patterson, saying, "Inflation is also a concern for traders who are predicting a rise in consumer costs as the dollar continues to fall."

Patrick presents Do You Know How Much Interest You Are Paying Each Month? posted at Cash Money Life, saying, "Do you know how much interest you are paying each month? Try this exercise to find out. The answer may shock you!"

Marc presents Focus on needs, not products posted at The Wesabe Blog, "One mistake I see people make a lot is to think of their money as a way to get particular products or services they want. I want to buy this particular television because it has the cool new feature thingy and I just can’t live without it. A very common mistake — one I make all too often myself."

Albie presents What is the secret to wealth? 6 steps according to Clitheroe posted at iDevelopWorld.

Evolution Of Wealth presents Return On Equity Is Always Zero posted at Evolution of Wealth, saying, "Everyone tells you to build up equity in your home. What they don't tell you is the return on that equity. Ever wonder?"

Allan Inocente presents Building Rich Money Habits 101: My personal finance story posted at Rich Money Habits, saying, "I've always thought there’s only one formula in making money - work hard and at the end of each month, you get your paycheck...That’s always been my training in terms of making money. That was my first money habit – work to earn...Now I know better."

Brandon Laughridge presents 8000 Tax Credit Extended and Expanded posted at Mortgage Loan Place, saying, "Learn what the new tax credit terms mean for you as a first time home buyer or repeat home buyer."

GeoffG presents Technical Analysis and Market Timing Update for 11/10/09 posted at Market Timing and Top Stock Picks, saying, "Market timing signals and technical analysis to make sure you are on the right side of the market, no matter what the predictions are."
