Do We Have a Support System?

I'm not a dummy and I'm not a proponent of big government. However as I watch my government at work I have to wonder, are they working with us, or are they simply involved in theatrics? Is there anyone I can count on besides myself? Is anyone looking out for me?

I'm not a partisan and I don't blame anyone in particular, except maybe myself. I've focused a lot on my personal investment growth, without worrying…

Can You Even Imagine?!?!?!

I was reading a story in USA Today about the different ways investors are reacting to the past two years of stock crashes and rebounds.

I was happy to read that I fell into the most favored of the three categories. The agressive investor who bought more stocks as the market bottomed out and then enjoying the near record rebound.

For a lot of investors, the market volatility scared them out of the market. Some got completely out of investing and some are only investing in… Continue

More Advice To Just Stick With Index Funds

In an article in the New York Times, Burton G. Malkiel, a professor of economics at Princeton University, argues that everyone (including the wealthy) have the best chance of investing success with index funds.

He says that the wealthy sometimes think they need to get more agressive with hedge funds,…

Savings Accounts...

Lots of people have savings accounts. I have a question:

Why?

I was reading an article about maximizing your account and while it was obviously talking about savings in the general sense, rather than a savings account there's an assumption that that's where you're going to put your money. Banks are full of savings accounts, but I can't even get any money on a CD.… Continue

Investment Education

Probably the first thing I've ever learned in investing was to invest every month. Dollar cost averaging seemed like a great way to avoid bad luck and get an average return, which was all I really wanted. So many people do worse than the average because they try to outperform. Many people even view the stock market as a scam.

That being said I've never really… Continue

Another Form of Stock Market Discipline

This has been a great time for those of us who didn't stop investing every month. The market has run up a great deal and I've felt really good about buying at the bottom. That being said, everything I have read about investing in the stock market suggests that you don't stop now either. Just as it would have been foolish to stop at the bottom, it would be equally… Continue

Eliminate Flash Orders

Flash orders allow some traders to see what other traders are doing befor the trades are placed. With high powered computers, these traders can then make trades within milliseconds to capitalize on the other investor's trade.

Why are these types of orders allowed?

Isn't this a new version of insider trading?

I don't mind traders having an advantage by using computers to execute trades very quickly, but this type of flash order trading goes into an area that is… Continue

I Don't Want To Buy Anything

I think my investing mindset has gone a little too far.

I have myself trained so well to put money into investments each month, that I don't want to spend my money on anything else.

I know I need a new vehicle, but I don't want to spend the thousands of dollars a new vehicle will cost me. I just keep driving the same car that is bound to break down at any moment.

I've never been a spender. I spend money on little things, but I generally hate to go shopping and I… Continue

Stock Market Timing - A Secret Investing Strategy Hiding in Plain Sight

Stock Market timing is a misunderstood concept and there has been a lot of debate between the "buy and hold" crowd and active market timing practitioners about its success. Ironically, the biggest benefit of stock market timing strategies is rarely discussed and we think its time to uncover this secret hiding in plain sight.

Buy and Hold

While most of us who advocate Investing Every Month tend to be big proponents of the buy and hold philosophy, I'm hearing a lot of pundits claiming that that approach is dead. This leads me to a simple question: What is the Alternative to Buy and Hold?

I think it's very irrational for the unsophisticated investor to start trying to dally in alternative investing… Continue

Reserve Currency Questions

With China and Russia making noises about a change in the World's Reserve currencies, I question whether even cash is a safe investment right now. If the dollar starts diminishing in value, domestic inflation may not be our only problem. Ultimately I feel like investing in gold through ETFs is a good hedge as well as… Continue

Still Investing In Online Businesses

I wrote a long time ago about how I was trying to decide what I should invest in. My basic choices were investing in the stock market, in real estate, or in building my own business.

I don't really like real estate so I decided not to invest in real estate even though I once worked in the industry and had a lot of friends who were investing in real estate.

As the housing bubble has burst, I'm glad I didn't do something I wasn't interested in just to make some money. A few… Continue

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… Continue

Markets Will Fall Based On Auto Bailout Failure

I just heard that the GOP Senators voted against the auto bailout. This will send the markets way down as the foreign markets are already crashing on the news.

This should definately send the markets toward the bottom of this recession low. If I had money in cash right now, I think this is when I would put it into the market if the DOW drops as it is expected to do today.

How To Retire In A Bad Market

Liz Pulliam Weston from MSN Money wrote a good article about retiring when the stock market is tanking. Here's a few quotes from the article:

"Big drops in the stock market obviously can devastate retirement accounts. But the people most at risk are those who have just retired or who are about to retire.

That's because dipping into a shriveled nest egg can… Continue
