Welcome to the weekend edition, a small collection of links to interesting personal finance related articles and news from around the web.
Wow, this week ended with a green day on Friday. How sentiments have changed between April and May. What will next week bring? Will Europe add more worries or will it be shrugged off by investors?
Here’s a list of interesting readings for the weekend:

#4 ETFs and Index Investing
MyOwnAdvisor explains index investing. Great overview for any DIY investor still stuck with mutual funds.
#5 Emotion isn’t something to fear, but to exploit
An investor’s job is to identify a good business, figure out what it’s worth, then wait until someone hits the panic button and sells it for less than it’s worth. That is why I love buying when the markets are crashing.
Have a great week end!
