This week the Burlington Free Press launched a new Business Monday section with a focus on Personal Finance. I had approached the Free Press President Brad Robertson (Twitter @bradrobertson) about contributing an investing column to the Burlington Free Press, and his team embraced the idea.

The addition of a personal finance section to the Burlington Free Press is a smart move for the paper at a time when many Vermonters are trying to understand the financial markets and the best ways for them to manage their finances and investments. As editor Tom Brown wrote in today's paper, "Many readers have asked for more coverage of personal finance-related topics, especially during the recession, so we decided to launch a monthly section of Business Monday exclusively devoted to helping Vermonters weigh their investments and juggle their expenses."

My first column is Investing in Vermont: Profits await clean energy investors. In this column I discuss the reasons to invest in clean energy, and provide readers three investment ideas: two mutual funds, and an ETF. You can read the column on the Burlington Free Press by clicking here. I'm excited to be contributing to the local paper, and look forward to writing future columns discussing Vermont-related investment themes and ideas.
