Wealth building advice for the rest of us

It's refreshing to hear a young person talk to young people about retirement. Rob Black is the perfect antidote for Cramer, Ramsey, late night infomercials, and just about anyone else out there today. He’s not a loud guru or cheerleader or Wall Street homer and he doesn't encourage people to watch the cable business channels all day. He just gives common sense advice on long-term investing strategies and accumulating wealth.

He offers a straightforward framework for thinking about the markets and news. Rather than rely solely on charts and numbers, he encourages listeners to think about the companies and the stories behind the companies when looking for growth or value. He also forces listeners to think about their own situation when evaluating an investing strategy, instead of tossing around blanket recommendations.

Rob's is definitely a message that needs to get out there. He's also funny, candid, and makes perfectly appropriate inappropriate comments.
