This Week's Carnival of Investing

This week's Carnival of Investing is up at Consumerism Commentary. There are quite a few interesting posts, but here are some that particularly caught my eye:

JLP at AllThingsFinancial goes into the basics of the time value of money. Be sure to also read the follow-up post he links to.

Jeffrey Strain from Personal Finance Advice gives us a list of some of the worst possible investments. He includes things like timeshares and jewelry. I'd call this one "how not to make money".

Early Riser shows you how to figure out whether to go with a 401-k or a Roth IRA.

Dan Melson from Searchlight Crusade breaks down state-run 529 plans.

As always, look around, since the things I find interesting might not be the ones that trip your trigger.
