This Week's Carnival Of Investing

This week's Carnival of Investing is up at Trader Mike's. My picks of the week include pieces from Financial Revolution, Pacesetter Mortgage, Personal Finance, Retire At 30, and Jose at Anes Weblog:
Financial Revolution has some information on Royalty Trusts.

David at Pacesetter Mortgage takes a look at the slowing pace of mortgage pre-payments.

Jeffrey at Personal Finance Advice tells us about person-to-person lending. Interesting, but there are some serious risks involved, IMO.

Retire at 30 submits an analysis of ROTH vs. Traditional (pre-tax) retirement plans.

Jose provides a lesson on how to calculate the effective after-tax interest of an investment. He even gives a spreadsheet.

As always, look around. There aren't necessarily the best ones, jut the ones that appealed to me. And your tastes are most likely different from mine.
