Some people are so good at investing that they become financial rock stars.
Warren Buffet is a financial rock star. His teacher, Benjamin Graham, proved that you’re never too old to be a financial rock star (or even alive for that matter),
Just like Grateful Dead fans are called Deadheads, fans of investor Jack Bogle, author of Bogle on Mutual Funds, are called Bogleheads.
Peter Lynch and John Templeton are up on that list of investment rock stars, too.
But what about real rock stars? Don’t you think they have financial advice? I think if you listen to some of the most famous rock songs, you’ll learn great investment lessons.

Investing isn’t brain surgery. It’s not rocket science. But brain surgeons and rocket scientists lose money in the market.
That doesn’t mean investing is an impossible science. It can be learned and mastered. It can be categorized and automated. Best of all, there are a lot of sources on the web that will help you learn about investing, or training.
In this edition of Weekly Wisdom, we’ll pass on some links for excellent resources for beginning investors. And, since being well-rounded is the first lesson of being wealthy (as opposed to being rich), we’ll add links to some of the web’s best articles and posts.

If you go through the list of bestselling business books on Amazon.com or other book outlets, you’ll notice an entire genre that is aimed at the thriving world of middle management.
These books offer advice on things like moving cheese to managing in a minute. You could boil down most of the advice aimed at workers to a three-fold path to servitude: dig deeper, work harder, and become more disciplined. Others are full of slick tricks to get workers to embrace this attitude.
When the economy falters, these books are passed out like Chairman Mao’s little red book. But, when you apply these principles in real life, you’ll find that this advice is either shewed, or doesn’t work at all.
We’ll explore some of the most common business book lies and how they appear to exist on a one-way street.

Personal Financial Freedom doesn’t have to be all about skimping on food and skipping baths (not recommended) to save money. It can be about learning how to be a rock star, or finding resources for passive income. It’s also about getting advice on the future financial picture out there: recovery, recession, depression?
Those are just some of the tidbits of info I found during my scouring of the web to find articles and posts that can help us become financially free.
Here’s this week’s collection:

Spinal Tap, one of world’s greatest mock bands, managed to survive the ups and downs of an industry known for chewing up and spitting out artists with reckless abandon.
From the soaring heights of hit records to the dismal depths of canceled tours, they rocked on. They survived drummers who mysteriously blew up and groupies who became wives… or whatever the f*%$ they are.
Tap, as their known to fans, beat the odds with pluck, timing, and generous portions of spandex. If you’re an investor, Spinal Tap even has some lessons on how you can survive the highs and lows of the market, with or without spandex.
And I got those financial lessons; I got more… a lot more. But hey, enough of my yakkin’; whaddaya say? Let’s boogie!

In this country, and perhaps throughout the world, there are people who love to give advice. Unfortunately it seems that most of the people who give out a lot of advice have no experience in what they are talking about. Why? Because it is very easy to appear knowledgeable about a subject by repeating the same things that everyone else says. I suppose it’s part of being human. Being “right” is often the same thing as repeating commonly held beliefs.
Investing advice is no exception. Many people love to give out investing advice, and often they have zero investing experience. I was at a family dinner and mentioned purchasing rental property. A family member said, “Oh, don’t do that. You’ll get calls in the middle of the night about a stopped up toilet!”

is one of my favorite financial books of all time. It's an allegory about a guy who has a terrible job, and how he overcomes challenges to achieve his dreams.
