7 Rules to financial security from CNN Money
In a world turned upside down, you must re-examine some basic assumptions. A good place to start: understanding the true nature of risk. John Maynard Keynes, the Depression-era economist who’s having quite the comeback, once quipped when he was accused of inconsistency: “When the facts change, I change my mind.

Six years of stock gains disappeared as the economy crumbled and markets crashed around the globe, shaking the confidence of professional and individual investors alike.
