NPR: Motley Summer on Wall Street

Motley Summer on Wall Street

Listen to this 'Talk of the Nation' topic

Summer tends to be quiet time on Wall Street... Investors leave on vacation, and so do CEOs. But what happened this year? In late July, we watched the Dow break the 14,000 point record. Then fall back below 13,000. It's rebounded a bit since, but is nowhere near 14,000 anymore. David Gardner, our Motley Fool, is back from his summer vacation. We'll talk about the wild ride on Wall Street, and what lessons investors can take from it. And check in on Neal's fantasy portfolio... Apple and Whole Foods made some news recently. What are your money questions for the Fool?

Is there a rule of thumb on rebalancing? I usually only rebalance once a year, but after last month's drop, my asset allocation is off. How much deviation in planned and acutal allocation makes a difference in portfolio performance?

My son was diagnoised with OCD. He obsesses about being gay. He is taking zypex, but has not attempted theraphy. I have not noticed any complusions. Is there OCD without complulsion???
