Intelligent Investing with Pamela Otten
I love Pam's show. She goes out of her way to provide great advice to her listeners in every show. She doesn't stop with investing advice - she covers all the things you need to have in place BEFORE investing, which I feel is very important in the financial world. It's so nice to have an investment professional give advice other than what mutual fund is the hottest one going (and pays them the highest commission). Pam gives impartial advice that's always in the best interest of her listeners.
Great Investment of Your Time
Pam teaches you how to dot your i's and cross your t's when it comes to investing. She makes what can be an intimidating topic seem simple.Defintiely worth listeing to each week!
Great show!
What an important topic! Pam does a great job of educating without being intimidating. I learn a lot from each show and look forward to it each week.
