Welcome Good Financial Cents readers! Thanks so much for stopping by my site by way of the my guest post today over at Jeff’s blog listed below. I’m very happy to have you here! 🙂

Can A Random Number Generator Beat the Market and 70% of Investment Professionals?

If you’re stopping by my site for the first time, I just wanted to give a little guide towards what I offer here, since information overload can occur quickly and time is our most valuable asset.

To introduce myself, my name is Jacob. I started this site back in January of 2010, and since then, have poured my heart and soul in to the site to produce a product I am proud of and I think adds value to the world. You can read a little more on my background and even see a picture of me on the “About” or “First-Time Visitor” pages to find out more about us.
