Each week (usually on Saturdays), I'll bring you my list of the four best pieces from the Wall Street Journal for the past week. Did I miss an article you thought was great? Leave a comment and let everyone know.

All right, below are my picks for this past week (note that log-in is required to read the full articles):

  1. Boiling Down Top Finance Books This piece lists the bestselling finance books of the past year: and two of the top three are the worst personal finance books I've read: Why We Want You to be Rich and Rich Dad, Poor Dad.
  2. Can Spending a Day Stuck to a Velcro Wall Help Build a Team? I've participated in some of these team-building exercises and didn't feel like I got much out of them. But I suppose it depends on the situation. Jared Sandberg has an interesting piece on it.
  3. Index Funds 30 years ago, Vanguard started the index fund revolution, Smart Money comes out with their list of the better large-cap and small-cap index funds. These are a must for passive investors and retirement funds.
  4. Up for Review: 401(k) Industry With calls for Congressional hearings about collusion hurting 401(k) investors, keep up to date with the controversy.
