Suze Orman is the financial guru for the rest of us. She gives very easy to understand; almost dumb down, financial information that many of us don’t seem to understand looking at the current credit crisis. On the web site SuzeOrman.com Orman states she is an “internationally acclaimed financial expert.” Suze Orman was also named one of Time Magazines most influential people of 2008. I like Suze Orman for her no nonsense and entertaining financial advice, but I’m not sure if she would have gotten as far as she has without making several appearances on Oprah. A lot of her advice has to do with getting out of debt, starting a nest egg, and improving your credit score. All of which I’d say is common sense… for this reason I feel Suze Orman is more of a motivational speaker getting people to do what they know they should do. Suze Orman first real job was at Merrill Lynch which is how her financial career started. She recommends Vanguard’s S&P 500 index fund (VFINX) or its Total Stock Market index fund (VTSMX). Suze Orman also recommends “Exchange-traded funds that let you own particular sectors, like iShares MSCI Emerging Markets (EEM), United States Oil Fund (USO) or the Metals & Mining SPDR (XME) (Money.CNN.com).” If Suze Orman’s common sense and entertaining approach to financial health gets people to take action than I’m all for it.

I’m kind of strange I guess… I love the stock market. I watch CNBC, read financial magazines, books, newspapers, and browse market related internet sites. Even though I invest in the stock market like many people I don’t have a clue about Forex Trading. Forex Trading is The Foreign Exchange Currency Market. Currency, Forex, or FX exist wherever one currency is traded for another. “It is the largest financial market in the world, and includes trading between large banks, central banks, currency speculators, multinational corporations, governments, and other financial markets and institutions. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_exchange_market).” Currencies are traded against one another on the Foreign Exchange Currency Market. Lets say you have dollars and you buy EUROS. If those EUROS go up, you just made yourself some money! The nice part about Forex trading is unlike the stock market if one currency goes down there is always another currency going up.

I spent this Memorial Day Weekend river rafting in Idaho on the Lochsa River. It was a lot of fun! I’d like to hear what you did this weekend, please comment.

I signed up for a ton of these about two years ago and now every time May comes around I get a tidal wave of coupons for free food. I found a fantastic web site that lists practically all the national restaurants offering free gifts on your birthday. If you live in the Seattle area one of the best e-mail lists to get on is the Duke’s Chowder House on Alki. He routinely sends free coupons your way DukesChowderHouse.com. If you don’t live in Seattle here’s the national chain list FrugalLiving.tv

Just a few of my free food coupons

CashSherpa.com is the future home of the 9malls.com official blog. Currently the blog can be read at 9malls.blogspot.com and 9malls.wordpress.com. Depending on the success or failure of CashSherpa.com I will either close or keep these blogs. I decided to create a new brand with the name CashSherpa.com just to try something new. The word “9malls” isn’t terribly descriptive so I wanted to come up with a new web site name just for this blog. A Sherpa is a type of guide for mountaineering expeditions in the Himalayas. Cash + Sherpa = Cash Guide! There it is!
