Investing Advice

I had some friends recently ask me about how to start stock market investing. I told them to read, do research and get on the Internet. They pooh-poohed me and wanted a shorter answer. Sadly I had nothing more to give. I hate giving anyone advice.



There's no upside to advising anyone on their finances and it can destroy relationships. But even ignoring that, people should be informed on their own. I… Continue

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…

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.

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.

That being said I've never really… Continue

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

The Confusion Factor

In discussing the buy and hold strategy, James Scott and I were both mentioning that one of it's huge assets is the kind of results that you can get without having to spend a ton of time researching. With proper ETF advice you can build a fairly diversified portfolio simply using your brokerage account and investing every… Continue

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
