One of my insprirations is Rob Black and Your Money show, airs weekdays at 10 a.m. on Kron 4 channel.  His straight up advice and candid suggestions makes those who listen to him on a daily basis stand up, take heed in their financial future, and start thinking for themselves.  It's the one of those live call in shows that you get to ask about your money matters, but be quick about it, Rob prefers those who has at least read one if not more of Ric Edelman books to be on board with his progressive way of thinking.  Check out his other list of must reads:  http://www.robblack.com/development/store.htm At his site www.RobBlack.com view past shows as a PodCast and learn more about his free investment seminars - and don't worry he's not selling you anything.  Just taking on, as his personal mission, educating the Bay Area to be more savvy and be healthy financially because we all know "one truly can't help those without helping himself".  In my opinion that's probably what motivates Rob to get up and do what he does best, perhaps his main objective with his loyal 40,000 listeners - it's easy to steer people in the direction of his way of thinking financially when given a half hour televised show weekly.   I'm sure it helps this  poor kids bottom line and  plays up his stocks sometimes.   Anyhow, don't miss it,  if anything he's got his thumb on the pulse of what is happening in our Silicon Valley market and also on those companies, many in our greater Bay Area, that are making money and affecting the world outside our Silicon Valley bubble.   

Happy Reading!
