The Neatest Little Guide to Stock Market Investing Book Review

The Neatest Little Guide to Stock Market Investing Book Review

For a while now I’ve been wanting to get more into investing. You always hear all these stories of people getting their money working for them with solid investments. Meanwhile my money had been sitting in lousy mutual funds that bank reps had somehow convinced me to choose.

You can read more about how my stance on investing has been evolving since becoming a finance blogger.

While I have had some good chats about investing with some fellow bloggers, I’ve accepted that to really get started I would have to do plenty of reading on my own. Already I was seeing that different investors will have different strategies. So to establish my own strategy I was going to have to read more into these different strategies on my own.

One of the first books I started with was ‘The Millionaire Teacher‘. While that provided a good passive strategy, I knew that would be potentially leaving money on the table. Continue reading

Personal Fraud Defence

The following is a guest post. If interested in submitting a guest post, please read my guest posting policy and then contact me.

Let’s suppose you receive an unexpected phone call one day from a man claiming to be a financial advisor. You are of course immediately skeptical of this cold caller and are about to hang up the phone when the man assures you that he isn’t trying to sell you anything.

He also tells you that you are right to be skeptical of people you don’t know and that you shouldn’t invest money with someone that you don’t trust. However, just so you know that he is good at what he does, look for Apple stock to go up this week.

Week 1

When you check at the end of the week, sure enough Apple stock has increased in value. A few days later you again receive a phone call from the same financial advisor. Before he even gets a word out you let him know that you aren’t impressed. Anyone could guess right about a stock increasing in value at any given time. Continue reading

New Airline Miles Credit Card Blog Announcement

Airline Miles Credit Card Blog

For a while now I’ve had a second blog on the back-burner. Due to time restraints and partnership logistics, the blog sat untouched for far too long.

I keep trying to make online business partnerships work, but it is always much more difficult to manage than anticipated. Both sides usually have a lot of other responsibilities on their plates and splitting work evenly is nearly impossible. Then throw in the complications of wanting to invest some money into the business and that partnership really gets tested. So in the end my business partner and I decided that it was best to disband the partnership.

Now that the blog is completely mine to do as I wish, I figure it’s finally time to do an official launch. Even if I’m not posting much early on, it’s best to start building up the stats as soon as possible. It’s not doing any good just sitting there.

So without further ado, I’d like to announce the launch of my new blog Airline Miles Experts. Continue reading
