"Good advice is always certain to be ignored, but that's no reason not to give it." Agatha Christie

"Beware of the young doctor and the old barber." Benjamin Franklin

The world of investment blogging is blossoming, with a lot of good advice, and even more bad advice, some of it coming from individuals who probably couldn't tell the difference between a 401k and mutual fund.
