John Wasik, Lynn O’Shaughnessy, Dr. Stan Humphries and Liz Weston join me to talk about hot topics in personal finance and real estate on the Ilyce Glink Show on October 7, 2012 at 12:00 Central Time on WSB Radio.

My weekly show always contains various forms of personal finance advice but today I have invited four of the smartest people I know to talk about personal finance and real estate.

We need a little perspective. It’s not enough to look at just our own backyards right now. What could happen over the second half of the year? These four folks have some strong, intelligent opinions:
