The Personal Finance Industry's Dark Side

09/25/14 - Thursday's Topical Currents is a rebroadcast that goes behind the scenes of the individual finance industry, with journalist Helaine Olen. She’s written POUND FOOLISH: Exposing the Dark Side of the Personal Finance Industry.  Most well-known TV and radio experts sell dreams that are seldom reached. Many of them promote a theory that disciplined investments can make us rich.  But that notion relies on a healthy market and no life setbacks.  Some touts have strong industry ties which taint their message. That’s Topical Currents . . . Thursday at 1pm on WLRN.
