Josh presents Build Your Portfolio Wisely posted at The Mad Money Analyst
"When you first start
building a portfolio many considerations are probably
running through your mind. Even if you've had your portfolio
for some time, you may be re-evaluating your past purchasing
decisions. But have you covered all your bases? Your first
consideration when evaluating your position is defining
your objectives. Each individual has unique investment
objectives based on your age, financial capacity, employment
situation, etc. For example a young college student."

Russell presents Hear ye, Hear Ye, individual investors: Be wary of new investment asset classes
? A Tip from The Skilled Investor posted at THE SKILLED INVESTOR Blog
"Many promoters in
the financial services industry have shown a strong proclivity
in recent years to invent and to market supposedly “new”
investment asset classes. These supposed new asset classes
have included “commodity futures,” “managed futures,”
“precious metals,” the 57+ varieties of “hedge funds,”
and other asset class inventions. What tends to be “new”
about these asset classes is the increased effort by the
industry to sell them to “retail” or individual investors
through the broker and advisor channels. Oddly, these
newly discovered asset classes for individual investors
also have been characterized by relatively high sales
charges, high broker/advisor compensation incentives,
and high ongoing professional management costs — all paid
by guess who? … You."
Retirement
Larry
Russell presents Check out this automated tool for aligning your investment risk tolerance and
asset allocation ? A Tip from The Skilled Investor posted at THE SKILLED INVESTOR Blog
"Your tolerance for
investment risk is a relative thing. Few people like investment
risk, but some can handle it better than others can. The
more investment risk you are willing to tolerate, the
higher your potential expected investment returns and
investment growth. At the same time, the investment road
you take might be rougher. Securities markets tend to
pay a return on investment only for shouldering investment
risks at the market level. The cash, bond, and stock financial
asset classes have different expected risk and return
characteristics."

Hi
I learned something from your articles.
I want to share with you my personal experience on how
I maximized my money in my non-bearing interest checking
account and hid it from identity theft and at the same
time, it is insured by FDIC. I think you will love it.
Thanks
