It's a play on words to help you start thinking differently, perhaps, about what retirement means to you.

What is the new retire-mentality? Plus, learn how you can get Mitch Anthony's free Life Profile and how it'll help you create a vision for your retirement.
With the exception of a few specific commodities like oil, we haven't experienced serious inflation in more than two decades. But now a growing number of economists and politicians are warning of news of steep price increases ahead as the federal government ramps up spending. How will that affect your investment? Are we going to be paying $10 for a dozen eggs in a couple of years? Here with some answers is Jim Kochan, Senior Investment Strategist & Head of Investment Research with Wells Fargo Funds Distributor.

Recent turmoil in our real estate markets, the financial sector, and the auto industry have cast a dark cloud over the intentions and abilities of some of our most honored business institutions and raises the questions: How do we know when management has our best interests at heart and when are they just out for themselves? Good governance, we have been harshly reminded, counts. Here to explain how to recognize and invest in good governance is Lloyd Kurtz, CFA and portfolio manager with Nelson Capital Management, a sub-advisor to Wells Fargo Advantage Funds. Lloyd and his team manage the Wells Fargo Advantage Social Sustainability Fund.

Is Buy and Hold Obsolete? Buying the stocks of companies with superior products, management, and business plans and then holding on for long term gains has been the fundamental strategy of such investing giants as Graham and Buffett. But the ups and downs of recent years - ending in the current financial crisis - has some people asking if holding on for the long haul is really so smart. So, is "buy and hold" dead? Here with some answers is Bobby J. Chen, CFA and Investment Product Specialist for Wells Capital Management's Value Equity Team. Led by Charles Rinaldi, the team manages the Wells Fargo Advantage Small/Mid Cap Value Fund.
