[This post is written and copyrighted by FIRE Finance (http://firefinance.blogspot.com).]

Folks here comes a bright Sunday and with it comes our weekly Carnival roundup. We are really excited to embark on our journey through the great posts published at various carnivals and festivals all over the personal finance blogosphere. Without much ado, lets jump in - yeeeh haaw :)!

The huge Carnival of Personal Finance #91 was hosted by The Sun's Financial Diary. One can tell that a lot of effort has been put forth by Sun in going through each article and then adding personal notes to each of them! Keep up the good job Sun.

Our Publication: We contributed the post "Investing - Asset Allocation - Conclusion." This post serves as the conclusion of our series on Asset Allocation and is worth taking a peek.


We found a couple of good posts from this carnival:

• Investing in a broad index fund
• 10 tips on how to deal with health insurer

Jim, the gentleman who started Festival of Frugality hosted Festival of Frugality #65! This was a nice surprise and honor as well. He kept the festival concise and to the point by dividing it into various zones. Well hosted Jim!

Some useful tips from this festival are:

• The Free Geek has a useful how to guide explaining how you can get free stuff: The Geek’s Guide to Getting Free Stuff.
• The Frugal Duchess saves 20% on groceries by being in an Organic Food Co-op for the last seven months.
• Golbguru presents All About Watching Movies For Cheap, I love cheap(er) movies!
• Getting to Graduation presents Going to College Without Student Loans.

The Skilled Investor hosted the Carnival of Investing #63. It was a fine carnival. We are thrilled since our contribution was the first article in the Editor's Choice section! Our heartfelt thanks to Skilled Investor for finding us worthy of the honor.

Our Publication: In the host's words our contribution was presented as: "EDITOR’S CHOICE: FIRE Getters presents Investing - Asset Allocation - Part 5 posted at FIRE Finance. A nice survey of industry asset allocation models — backtrack from this link to the other 4 parts."

Our favorites from this great carnival are:

• Jim presents Background Check Your Financial Adviser posted at Blueprint for Financial Prosperity.
• Golbguru presents Gold As Investment: When One Pound Of Gold Is Not Equal To One Pound Of Gold posted at Money, Matter, and More Musings, saying, “A rookie’s initiation into gold as an investment and his first thoughts about gold.”
• FMF presents Six Investment Pitfalls posted at Free Money Finance, saying, “Six investment pitfalls — and I’ve done them all!”
• TJP presents Top Indian Funds: The Indian Fund (IFN) posted at Investor Trip.
• Silicon Valley Blogger presents Filthy Wal-Mart = Poor WMT Stock Performance? posted at The Digerati Life.

This week we stopped by at a new festival named Investor Blog Network - Festival #2 hosted by InvestorTrip. It is a very small festival and we won't spoil the fun by listing our favorites. Instead we request you to take a glance at it.

We offer our heartiest thanks to all the hosts for such superb hosting, the audience for reading and browsing through these carnivals and festivals, and our fellow bloggers for authoring such phenomenal posts. Next Sunday we shall be back with our carnival round up with great enthusiasm and joy. Meanwhile we wish you great joy and peace this whole week!
