I'm still investing in mine up to the point of matching funds from my company. I instantly double my investment with the company match so it seems crazy not to invest at least that much.

Why commercial real estate? Do you have any experience with commercial real estate investments? I have found that it is a good idea to find a mentor within the sector you can work with in commercial real estate before you start making your own inv…

After great success investing in hedge funds with Denko Group during the downturn, I am now looking to plow my profits into real estate. Any advice on investing in larger commercial projects would be appreciated. Thanks!

The house next door is for sale. I think it is priced too high, but I live in a popular neighborhood and the houses go fast. If the house sells at the current price, I will be very happy about the value of my house considering we are in a tough rea…

I agree that the internet advertising will increase over time, but I still wouldn't invest in the established newspaper companies. I think they will continue to have too much overhead costs related to their former business model that will drag them…

I'm surprised there haven't been more companies going bankrupt. I'm also surprised at the amount of debt many companies are carrying. I don't think most people understand that big companies like AT&T and Verizon are carrying billions of dollars in d…

Gloomy Baby Boomer Investors

I'm on the road visitng family and friends for the holidays.

My parents, in-laws, and many relatives are baby boomers.

I have been watching the latest stock market drop with interest, but I haven't really been too distressed about it because I am young and have a lot of time for the market to rebound before I need my money. I see this more as a buying opportunity.

However, by visiting with so many baby boomers, I have had the ability to see the gloom this market has brought to a large segment… Continue

If I Invest $100 A Month Will I Be A Millionaire?

If i invest $100 a month will i be a millionaire?

I guess the most important part of the equation is how long I will be investing $100 a month.

I did a search on Google for a compounding interest calculator (because each year my earnings will be determined by how much I have saved and how much interest my savings had earned the previous years).

The compounding interest calculator gives me the following results if I start with no money and invest $100 a month at a 8% interest rate:

20 years -… Continue

SRI Funds Create Positive Returns

I saw the recent post about how more 401(k) funds are starting to include socially responsible investment fund options.

I checked with my 401(k) advisor and found out that I did have a few recently added SRI fund options. I'm now in the process of changing my asset allocation to include the new SRI funds.

Before I decided to make the change, I did some research into the SRI funds. I found out that the notion that SRI funds generate smaller returns is more myth than fact.

I also saw a stat tha… Continue

The CNBC Monopoly on Financial Information

I know some cable line-ups offer bloomberg financial news and maybe a few others, but when I watch television, CNBC is the main source for financial information.

Is it a good thing to have one company (GE) with near monopoly control over cable financial news?

There certainly are a number of programs offered on the channel, but most of them operate according to the same commercial format. They all seem to have the same goal of getting more people to invest in the stock market.

Even if I think… Continue

Teaching Kids About Money

I'm just about to start my journey as a parent.

I've been thinking about how I want to raise my children. I know there will be a lot of things I can't plan for.

One thing I'm thinking about is how much wealth I should share with my children. I want to have some sort of allowance system so they will start to manage their own money at an early age.

I'm also wondering what type of example I should set for my children. If I have been financially successful, should I let my children know by buying… Continue
