The One-Minute Meeting


** Drowning in political polls
------------------------------------------------------------

As we get closer to the midterm elections, you will be inundated with political polls, but what good are they? Over and over, they have proven unreliable in predicting the outcome of close races, and in recent elections they have under-estimated Republican followings. I will tell you how to read poll results more accurately and we will hear from some experts who explain how polling really can be useful.


** This Thanksgiving, you're going to pay
------------------------------------------------------------

With the cost of groceries skyrocketing, especially butter and other items used in baking, Thanksgiving dinner is going to put a dent in your wallet. Take a look at how much inflation has affected specific foods.


** Here's a government-backed investment that pays 9% interest
------------------------------------------------------------

But you only have a few more days to get in on it. The government I bonds are linked to the inflation rate. The government sets the new rate every six months, but it is one way you can make inflation work for you. The minimum investment is $25. In today’s column, I will show you where to go to buy the bonds and some of the details you should know before investing.
