Hi David,

Writing two blogs is no picnic. I launched The Survive and Thrive Boomer Guide at http://boomersurvive-thriveguide.typepad.com in January. In April I became a reader blogger for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. My blog for the PI is called the Boomer Consumer. I post five times a week for each blog.

In addition, I was asked to be a guest blogger weekly for Boomer411 in July.

I’m a journalist and have worked as an editor for nearly 20 years. I have good writing skills that fit well with blogging. You may want to consider taking a couple of journalism classes at your local community college. It may help you write faster and shorter.

I’m going to begin adding ads to my Survive and Thrive Boomer Guide Blog and working on ways to increase my readership. Wish me luck.

Rita

P.S. I love photography and like to use photos on my blogs. Some readers have told me that photos pull them into the post. Photos fit well with my consumer topics, but may not be as easy to use with finance topics.

Hi D,

Thanks once again for your support.

I don’t intend giving up just yet.

Maybe I’m ahead of the curve on this.

I am just re-organizing the way I do things.

Regards,

David

David,
I look forward to your contribution every day and have become an avid follower. Your site has given me a whole new defensive perspective on retirement funds and a very enquiring approach to off the shelf products. Its amazing, at times, to realise how little knowledge many of these sales people possess and how unscrupulous their advice sometimes seems. I appreciate your disappointment re site visits, etc. I will be disappointed when my daily read is curtailed. Thanks

Comment on Dynamic Asset Allocation with Long-Term Market Timing to Manage Risk by admin

I like what they do too but being in Australia makes it a little hard unless I invest directly in the USA. Then I’d have exchange rate risks. Right now with a high Aussie Dollar it may be okay though.

The only thing I can suggest is emailing them to see if they have any affiliation with anyone in Ireland or Europe.

Or try and find a similar site in Ireland/Europe and contact them. I am sure there will be similar sites based on the same principles.

David,
That seems like a very interesting newsletter re Dynamic Asset Allocation. I just wonder to what extent it is geared to an American audience investing in $. I find that currency fluctuations can also wreak havoc on a portfolio! Nevertheless, I do like what I have seen on their website and ask how you might avail of their service.
