EfficientFrontier.com
The creator of this homemade, nonprofit site, William J. Bernstein, calls it "an
online journal of practical asset allocation" that is "dedicated to investors
who wish to acquire portfolio theory and assemble low-cost efficient portfolios
on their own." This site is ideal for those investors who wish to invest without
the help of a professional advisor but want to build a portfolio of efficient
index funds as opposed to buying individual stocks. It features monthly
editions, as well as offering the ability to download Mr. Bernstein's book, The
Intelligent Asset Allocator: Portfolio Theory for the Small Investor. He makes a
strong case for not using actively managed mutual funds. The writing style is
scholarly so this site won't be for everyone.
mPowerCafe.com
This site is targeted primarily at beginners as well as those investors whose
only real exposure to the stock market is through their 401k at work.
Nonetheless, this site provides easy to understand explanations of markets and
investing and is ideal for many people who don't have the time or inclination to
study investing in depth, but still want a basic understanding of how they
should save and plan their financial future.
