07/27 Mutual Fund Investing

Mutual funds vary by the type of financial instrument they use to invest the money of large groups of people. Mutual fund shares sell on the stock market or through companies, either directly or via a licensed sales representative. You can\’t open a newspaper or read a magazine without seeing ads promoting the stellar performance of \”hot\” mutual funds. But past performance is not as important as you may think, especially the short-term performance of relatively new or small funds. As with any investment, a fund\’s past performance is no guarantee of its future success. Dr. Marvin Fineman fired his financial advisors and learned all about the free tools available on the Internet that help him find the best returns on mutual funds. IF you want to invest have your money manager bring in his last 3-5 years of his statement of worth. Find out how much he is worth. Is he debt free? Get his income tax statements. If he can\’t make money and be debt free it would be like taking sailing lessons from the captain of the Titanic. Most of them will invest your hard earned money until it\’s all gone! Beware!! Learn all this while watching these video.

07/26 The Importance Of Investing In Yourself

The Importance Of Investing In Yourself –
The best bloopers are a click away

Investing in you is the true way to improve yourself. If you trade your time and effort now for increased skills or knowledge, relationships, and better health, your results will multiply in the future. Studies show, that spending as little as just 15 minutes a day investing in yourself and your personal well being, is hugely beneficial. Quarter of an hour, that\’s all, hopefully we can all manage to find that having an attitude of investing your time in yourself now will result in payoffs later. The key is to discriminate between what is investing and what is not – because more things can be considered “investing” than we think. Being social – talking to just about anyone – is investing because it improves your communication skills, extroversion, and builds relationships.
