Ten Investment Lessons From A Dismal Decade

Here's a good article about ten investment lessons from a dismal decade. The first decade ever that lost value overall for blue chip stocks. Nothing too new or exciting, but it is a good reminder of investing basics. 1. Diversification isn't dead…

Great additions lea. Most investors wish they had started earlier in life. This is why most children of serious investors end up doing pretty well. The Obama Administration is thinking of passing a law that says employers must automatically enroll…
