		<description><![CDATA[An exchange traded fund is similar to a mutual fund in a lot of different ways. An ETF is a collection of different stocks and bonds, all grouped together so that you are investing in all of them simultaneously. This means that you're spreading out your investment and thus you have a much better chance of increasing your initial investment and getting a return.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are certain collectors who are merely hobbyists and collect things for fun or simply because they enjoy accumulating the things that they gather. This may also be true for coin collectors, but most of these people eventually learn how to capitalize on their collection in the long run.

The potential of earning from the coins that you have collected is big, especially if you have a lot of rare types. A known coin collector, Harold Bareford, is a good example for this claim.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When most people think of investments, they typically think of trading stocks and shares on the stock exchange - and this is the form of investment that most investors tend to engage in. However, if you are looking to diversify your investment portfolio or make a start in investing in something of a different way, there are some great options open to you.

One of these is wine investment. The wine market is currently much more buoyant than the economy more generally, so even though the market did suffer something of a fall last year, it has recently picked up again and is still up more than 50% compared to where it was in 2007.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Investing is always an interesting subject, because just like everybody is interested in making money, the next step is always finding a way to keep that income, and hopefully grow it somehow. With the current economy, the first phase is harder than ever, and simply making enough to live comfortably on can be a big challenge.

		<description><![CDATA[1. Start Today

Whatever your circumstances are right now step up and start doing something different from today. It is a common mistake to wait for when the time is right, or when you have some spare money you will start investing, as David Bach points out in his best selling book The Automatic Millionaire The Pay Yourself First Rule is the first rule to start implementing and the sooner you start the better.

Start investing at least 30 minutes a day of your time on raising your financial IQ and even if you have Â£1.00 a day right now to invest with just do it this habit alone has the power to transform your future.

You might think about reviewing catalogues from the many Galleries of British art, browse through museums or look for your own masterpiece in flea market hoping to find some secret art treasures. But is it a plan that will result in making you richer? Judging by the quantity of people we see on art forums discussing British Artists and British Art for investment, clearly many think buying art for investment is a great idea.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The value investing strategy hinges on finding the stocks of fundamentally sound companies which are trading at a discount to their true or intrinsic worth. That situation can transpire for all sorts of reasons. A stock (business) can be unpopular with investors because it's temporarily out of fashion, is going against a general market trend or it's off the market's radar.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Diversification based on your age is often cited as critical yet this is extremely fraught with misconceptions. Diversification is absolutely critical to a good investment plan but it should be based on a number of factors, not just your age.

Age based diversification is just another way of saying, "I think I am going to live a long time" or "I don't have much time left." Or it's like a batter coming up against Nolan Ryan or Greg Maddux with either an "oh well" attitude or an "I can hit this guy" attitude.

Some of the keys to diversification are:

&#8226; Term: are your investments for the long-term, short-term, mid-term or a mix?

But don't confuse these "terms" with how long you will be investing; rather they are terms that describe how long you typically expect to hold a position (stock, ETF or fund). If you are going to trade daily then long-term positions are not very likely.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Investors are increasingly forced to choose from a proliferation of investment options. They also have to deal with contradictory advice on how to achieve their financial goals and how to invest the savings they have accumulated during their lifetime. If you consider that there are more than 7 000 mutual funds available in the United States alone, and thousands of insurance products worldwide, making the choice that will satisfy them ever after is daunting, to say the least.

No wonder people so often ask the rather general question: Which investment is best? The first part of the answer is easy: No single investment is 'the best' under all circumstances for all investors.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There's no doubt that recent news about certain silver age key issue comics breaking sales records and going for six figures has caught the attention of the public and many investors. The question of "Are comic books good investments" have been asked many of times by new speculators in comic investing.

However, the truth is that those comic books that have sold for ridiculous prices are what's called "Pedigree Comics" in the comic book industry. That means that they are the highest graded books of a certain issue.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Have you ever thought of your future? Have you ever thought about ways on how to grow your savings? Have you ever put these two together: savings for your future?

Instead of spending your money on the latest gadget, shoes, or designer purses, why not familiarize yourself with safe investments that would generate profit in the long run? What if something bad happens to you, will you be able to pay for the bills incurred? Do not feel overconfident and satisfied with what you have in the present.

Investing your money somewhere else than a bank is a good option but is also a risky one. In any case, you must act and prepare now. Life is so short to be procrastinating and hanging around without a plan for the future.

One common way of investing money is stocks trading.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[An investment fund is a type of investment vehicle used to invest in the stock market. An investment fund is where the investor contributes a sum of money into that fund, which has already been invested into certain areas of the stock market. The idea is to minimise the risk by spreading the amount invested into several areas of the stock market at once.

This has the following advantages:

Â· Minimises risk to the investor as the fund will be configured to buy stocks and shares in different commodities.

Â· Can be configured on the basis of risk, so the more adventurous may look for a high risk, high return fund, while a more cautions investor may look for a low risk, low return fund.

Â· Avoids the scenario of putting your eggs in one basket, which many financial people would advise against doing.

Â· They are good for the inexperienced investor as they invest in many areas of the market.

It is worth remembering that stocks can do well one year and perform poorly the next.

Investment funds still require key decisions to be made, especially in the area of risk.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Reducing your risk during times of market volatility, or any time, can help preserve your portfolio. There are several ways you can achieve this while maintaining either an aggressive or conservative investment strategy.

A principle of investing is to minimize drawdown, the percentage your portfolio drops at any one time or between the market highs and the lows. If you invest with the buy and hold philosophy you will most likely experience dramatic drawdowns over the course of time, and while your portfolio may recover from these losses, if you need to cash out part or all of your money in the midst of these drops, you will suffer with big money losses.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How can you tell the economy will get better? What about good buy opportunities in the market? Do they always exist?

There are many answers to these questions. Sometimes events cloud the overall picture. Sometimes there may not be good investments but getting prepared to make an investment is just as important.

If the markets are down and nothing looks good, but a major company announces they are buying another company or pouring money into a new project, that company is saying, "we think the future is great." Does it mean you should buy that company or an ETF or fund holding that company, no, not necessarily.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How many times have you seen the markets crash and watch portfolios shrink like a never washed cotton shirt? Before the market dives there are three methods that can help you preserve your shirt and your cash.

With the aid of computers and many software programs you can activate key signals that can tell you when to exit the market before your portfolio becomes totally at risk.

&#8226; Equity Curve

&#8226; Benchmark Exit

&#8226; Ticker Rank + Combo Charts

Equity Curve - Michael Carr, in his book "Smarter Investing in Any Economy" writes about using an equity curve to signal when to stop using a particular investment strategy.

This equity curve chart is a type of moving average chart. When the price line of the group's strategy cuts down through the moving average of the groups tickers, then a sell or "don't use" this strategy signal is generated. In other words, this strategy is not making money and it is either time to switch strategies with this group, switch to a different group of ticker symbols, OR move to cash or bonds to safeguard your money.

In his book, Carr writes about an equity curve based on 250 trading days, but in turbulent market times an equity curve based on 100 trading days or even a bit less will provide more safety.

Benchmark Exit - this exit signal is similar to an equity curve or moving average but is based strictly on the performance of a major index.]]></description>

Short term needs require two things when you invest. Liquidity when you need the money and safety.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While there is money to be made in gem investing, it is not a recommended pursuit for those who don't have experience in the industry.

The problem with regular investment opportunities such as bonds and ISA's are that they return very minimal dividends because of low or stagnant interest rates. Coupled with this trend is a volatile stock and housing market.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[High return investments are frequently marketed without due regard to inflation. Inflation means that the increase in the price of goods and services causes a decrease in the value of the currency but this is not always shown in performance tables for example.

Firstly we must understand the effects of inflation because our investments may not be performing as well as we believe. The nominal return - the amount before inflation - does not reflect the real return.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The very fact that there has never been more choice in the various investments available means that it is important to have a system to manage your research and your investments.

Perhaps you will discover unusual investments that compliment more traditional ones. It's worth taking the time to explore, and the internet makes it a breeze in as much as you can research broadly before sitting down with a specialist and making final decisions.

Before getting into any kind of detail you need to determine some broad parameters.

i) Long term / short term / fixed / variable

ii) High risk / low risk / managed / self managed

iii) Capital growth / income / both

iv Estate management / tax implications

In order to keep track of research, keep computer details or written notes of all of your research. It will be easier to make comparisons when you start drilling down into specific details.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[First thing to invest in is...Time to read this article it could save you Thousands.

Hello, So I decided to share some wisdom and background in this Hub so I hope you Enjoy.

I have worked in the past selling Land for investment, otherwise know as "Land Banking"

Through this I have spent probably in the region of 800 hours on the telephone to investors and IFA´s (Independent financial advisers) and have picked up a little bit of knowledge on what to invest in and what not to.

It is 2010 nearly 2011 and the economy is not good. Yet some people out there have thousands to invest in, I would recommend you do not invest in anything.

That's right Cash is King, your broker is sat there saying its a great time to buy, invest in this invest in this your money is doing nothing. Well of course he is, he gets absolutely NO commission if you do not invest so he is happy for you to take a gamble.

If you are adamant you would like to invest then I recommend you invest in things such as Gold, Wine and Coffee.]]></description>

We can also invest when we are kids, if our parents give us some type of income we can tell them to put it into a savings account for us that earns interest. But when we're kids, we actually don't know about that and our parents just puts the money in there for us anyway.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So lets start off with what young people usually do with them money or income. In school, they don't get taught how to make money in the real life, nor do they get taught how to even save or use money correctly. That is why so many young people come out like so many, broke.

So what do they do when they have a job and start receiving income? They go out and use all their money on shopping, cars, clothes, alcohol etc.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Would you like to improve your financial position? Are you happy with your investment vehicles? There are many to choose from and most are well known but I would like to offer private lending for those investors who care to consider alternatives.

Private lending on real estate offers a relatively safe return on your money and the combination of safety and profit makes it the one of the best.

What makes a good investment for you? You certainly want to know if your money is somewhat safe and if the rate of return will be favorable. While no investment is 100% guaranteed safe, this vehicle is about as close as they come. If anyone guarantees you a totally safe return on an investment head for the door.

You want to know how much of your money will be required and what happens if an emergency comes up and you need to get your hands on your investment?

When you invest in the stock market or mutual funds you lose money if the bottom falls out, at least until you can sell.]]></description>

You will also likely agree that one of the most important things to know about a company is how well it has managed its finances. After all, a company that doesn't manage its finances well won't be as likely to be profitable, which means that it will more than likely not be a very good investment.

So what should you know about a company's finances? There are so many numbers on the financial statements.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is important to be independent in our decisions to invest, and be able to evaluate and understand the companies that we are considering for potential investment. In this article, I want to share with you some of the things that I look at when deciding if a stock is a good investment or not.

RevenueTo pick out a stock that will create good long-term value for its shareholders, investors need to look at the sales figure to see if it is growing at a healthy rate long-term.

Investors should, however, make sure that the company is not over-aggressive in its expansion and taking on too much debt; spreading itself too thin. Investors should also make sure that the company is not in the habit of regularly issuing new stock to fund its growth, as this kind of activities will dilute the holdings of shareholders.]]></description>

Considering the fact that good investments help us to actualize our objectives in our education, career, capital projects, family needs, etc, then it's imperative for us to understand these investments.

Presently, we are faced with the recovery of the economy after experiencing the global economic meltdown for more than two years of economic impasse. In most African countries, especially Nigeria do not seem to get on a good start as the government has limited funds to inject into the economy (Capital market) unlike other developed nations of the world are currently doing.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sellers and real estate agents love to make prospective buyers believe that their properties never have any vacancies and if they do, it is just a temporary thing and with the right amount of "elbow grease" and the right vision you can turn it around and do what the previous owner couldn't. This seems to be the line of logic that you hear again and again. The first thing that can give you perspective is to acknowledge the fact that if the current owner could fill up the vacant units or make additional repairs, wouldn't they have done it already? Are we really supposed to believe that their units are not full just because the owner was too lazy or just didn't feel like doing it? Always keep in mind that when someone has hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars tied up in a property they have every incentive to do what they can to keep the units filled.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When making offers on commercial real estate it is imperative that you know what your interest rate is likely to be as your payments on your loan (debt service) will eat up most of your cash flow. Because of this, it is super important to know beforehand what sort of interest you will be paying. Granted, there are several factors at play in making this determination as the bank will assess the value of the property, the financial strength and credit worthiness of the guarantor for the loan, and several other parameters that banks love to keep a mystery.

Knowing the interest rate you will be paying will weigh heavily on what properties you can write offers on and for how much.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How would you like to make your due diligence efforts substantially easier while also reducing risk? I am about to give you a tip that will save you from a massive amount of frustration and stop you from making rookie mistakes. Here's the key: Always use average per unit expense numbers from third party property management companies. Sellers and brokers love to try to convince you that by "cutting this corner here", or "using this trick over there", and by following their advice you can make way more money than even they made off of the property.

Don't buy into this logic for a second! The truth is that when you bring in a management company to run your property, they are going to call on the exact same tradespeople and vendors that they use to maintain their other tens of thousands of units under management.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Many real estate investors determine the value of an income property by using the capitalization rate, although it is a simple computation, it is very misused!

Many people quote deals based on the cap rate by taking the yearly Net Operating Income (NOI), and dividing it by the sales price:

Example:Say the property has an NOI of $250,000, and the price is $3,000,000.

$250,000/ $3,000,000 = 8.3% cap rate

The cap rate represents projected return for one year as if the property were bought with all cash. In order to correctly calculate the cap rate, and get an apples to apples comparison, you must know the correct income and expenses for the property, and that the calculations of each were done in the exact same way. Many times, brokers will show the income or expenses as a snapshot of one month and then calculate the cap rate.]]></description>

The National Association of Realtors wants everyone to believe that "now is the perfect time to buy". Surely prices can't keep going down, right? Do you really want to gamble on that? Banks are just now starting to unload their vast inventory of foreclosures on the market. What happens when supply exceeds demand? Yep, prices tend to go down.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What about gold as an investment?

Many people think about buying gold by the ounce, which is out of reach for a lot of people in today's market. But what about buying gold by the gram?

A gram is about 1/31 of an ounce and is a lot more affordable for many people.

A company has been delving into this idea and is currently beginning to go worldwide with this concept.

Gold is place in small one gram gold bars on a small credit card size card. It can be taken to a jeweler and verified that...yes...this is real gold.

Not only is it real gold, but it is.999 pure gold, 24K gold, trans-actionable gold.

Currencies are currently losing their value around the world.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the most common questions I get from the participants in my monthly tax and wealth coaching teleconferences is, "Is XYZ a good investment?"

XYZ may be storage units, gold, international funds, mobile homes, businesses, commercial real estate, you name it.

The answer I give to each participant is the same. It depends.

It depends on your personal wealth strategy.

The Magic of a Wealth Strategy

The magic of creating a personal wealth strategy is that you can answer all of your own investment questions simply by referring to your strategy.

When developing a wealth strategy, there are several key questions to answer so you can answer the question, "Is XYZ a good investment?" I'll share 2 of these questions right now.

Question #1:

What are your personal preferences?

Different types of assets have different types of characteristics. A successful wealth strategy is able to match the characteristics of a particular asset to your personal preferences.

Is your preference High, Medium or Low when it comes to certain investment characteristics? Here are a few personal preferences to consider:

Rate of returnCash flowInteraction with other peopleTax advantages

Once you have identified your personal preferences, you can begin to navigate through the specific type of asset to focus on.

For example, if you have a high preference to interact with others, then you can weed out assets that do not have this characteristic.]]></description>

And she said - oh no - I'm going to be leaving it for my grandchildren.]]></description>

They don't know what the ratings mean.

What's important is that you find a good investment that fits your particular needs. This can be tricky business because it's all a matter of trade offs, and most people don't know investment basics.

A good investment for your friends might not be a good investment for you.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Too often, index fund proponents get bogged down in intellectual discussions about market theory and statistical relationships. You probably aren't interested in a debate about the efficiency of our financial markets; you just want to know which investments will give you the greatest chance of a lengthy, enjoyable retirement. This article describes three simple and practical reasons why you can't afford to ignore index funds.

Reason #1: Performance

Index funds consistently outperform the vast majority of actively-managed mutual funds. According to data compiled by the Bogle Financial Markets Research Center, two-thirds of actively-managed mutual funds fail to beat the relevant index in a typical year and over 80% fail to beat the index over a typical 20-year period.

Actively-managed funds, where a manager or committee makes the investment decisions, find such rare success because of numerous debilitating costs. Data from Morningstar shows that administrative, transaction, and opportunity costs result in total annual expenses of over 2.5% for the average actively-managed mutual fund. Index funds, on the other hand, minimize expenses by employing computer systems rather than expensive financial analysts and by trading far less frequently than active funds. A typical index fund has total annual expenses of less than 0.5%.

Simple math tells us that the average mutual fund investor earns the market return minus any expenses incurred. Therefore, based on the numbers in the paragraph above, the average index investor outperforms the average active investor by 2% annually. If that doesn't sound like a lot, consider the indexing advantage when compounded over 50 years (the longevity of many retirement accounts). Assuming an initial investment of $10,000 and an annual market return of 8%, an index investor would retire with savings of $372,000 while an active investor would retire with just $145,000 - that's less than half!  

Reason #2: Simplicity   

Index investing brings simplicity and transparency to an investment portfolio. In the wake of the recent financial crisis, individual investors are paying unprecedented attention to their investment portfolios. Some are abandoning high-priced professionals and managing their own money; others are examining their advisor's activities with increased scrutiny and skepticism. Effective investing is challenging, but it doesn't have to be complex.

According to a study by Ibbotson and Associates, over 90% of investing returns can be attributed to asset allocation, or the proportions of different types of financial assets (e.g., stocks, bonds, cash) in an investor's portfolio. Unfortunately, asset allocation can be difficult to determine when dealing with a portfolio of actively-managed funds. Active managers can drift from their described investment style in the hope of increasing returns, so an actively-managed "small cap value fund" could actually consist of some large cap, growth, or cash holdings at any time. Style drift takes the asset allocation decision out of the hands of the investor, potentially reducing overall portfolio diversification and subsequently increasing risk.  

In contrast, asset allocation for an index investor is greatly simplified. A small cap value index fund always maintains a 100% investment in small cap value stocks, so the investor knows exactly what he's getting for each dollar invested. This transparency greatly simplifies the task of portfolio management. Once an index investor determines his risk capacity, or the degree of downside uncertainty that he can tolerate in his portfolio, he periodically monitors his investments to ensure that his asset allocation stays consistent with his capacity for risk. When market movements cause his portfolio to become too risky or conservative, he simply makes a rebalancing trade to restore his target allocation.

Reason #3: Psychology

Index investing helps to counteract several harmful behavioral biases. When it comes to investing, you can be your own worst enemy! Overconfidence, loss aversion, and herding are just a few of the natural human tendencies that can keep you from making good investment decisions. A risk-appropriate index portfolio, when combined with a strict rebalancing program, provides a powerful defense against these damaging behavioral forces.

We (humans) tend to be overconfident about our mental and physical abilities. Eight out of 10 college students believe that they are better-than-average drivers and seven out of 10 Americans believe that they are smarter than the average American. For investors, overconfidence in one's ability to beat the market leads to frequent trading, higher expenses, and poor performance.

We also have a tendency to be loss averse. This phenomenon causes us to feel more pain from a $1000 loss than we feel happiness from a $1000 gain. As a result, we tend to hold losing investments for too long (in order to avoid the pain associated with realizing the loss) and sell winning investments too soon. Both of these practices destroy investment returns.

Finally, we follow the herd. During the late 1990s and early 2000s, countless "sophisticated" investors ignored fundamentals and invested in the latest dot-com, only to see their wealth destroyed soon thereafter. Herd behavior is so damaging because it often causes us to buy at the worst possible time (the top of the market) and sell at the worst possible time (the bottom).

By building a risk-appropriate portfolio and maintaining it through a rebalancing program, you can systematically avoid these harmful behavioral biases. First, eliminate the damaging effects of overconfidence by building a portfolio based on your risk capacity, not based on what you think the market or a particular sector is going to do. Next, fight your tendency to be loss averse by establishing target bands for portfolio rebalancing, thereby removing your ability to make harmful buy/sell decisions. Finally, ignore the herd and stick with your plan!

Summary

By investing in a risk-appropriate portfolio of index funds, you can boost your investing returns, simplify the task of portfolio management, and fight the harmful biases that are naturally present in your psyche. The benefits of index investing make this strategy anything but boring!.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It might seem counterintuitive to invest in a down economy but you are actually making a smart decision when you invest during the recession for many reasons. First, you are providing fresh capital to the economy, which will eventually rebound to your benefit.&#160; Second, most stocks of good companies are down so you can buy them cheap, which means that you get great deals can sell them for a profit when the market turns higher.

The trick is in knowing which investments to place your money in. Fortunately, there are five good investments that are either guaranteed to return your investment plus earnings or proven to be stable even in a down economy.

Certificates of Deposit

With certificates of deposit, your principal investment is safe in the bank no matter the state of the economy.&#160; You will earn interest on your investment at a fixed rate for a fixed period of time.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Possibly by now everyone is already aware that the business world has been hit by a global financial crisis which affected adversely many companies in terms of their operation. As a consequence big investment and lending companies have either reduced or totally cut-off their investment as the market is no longer receptive to any business venture whether new or expansion.

Thus, this phenomenon has created a ripple effect which gives fears among the general public and resulted to holding-on of purchases on personal needs and deferring of personal investment. People in general are now skeptical about business and investment especially in countries that are badly affected by this crisis for fear that they will just end up losing their money.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you have collected stamps before you may think, "Well a high priced stamp should show more profit over the long term than a low priced stamp." This statement is very true in essence, but we have to qualify it by determining what a high priced stamp actually is. For some people a stamp costing £500 may be highly priced, for others the figure may be nearer £5000 or more.

So if you have a small budget of around £500, is it feasible to invest it in stamps? The realistic answer is 'no'. To understand this lets consider some facts.

Over a short term(5years) stamps in this range tend to fluctuate more than those at £1000+.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ok, so Shakespeare has no place in tax lien investing. Do you?

If you're considering making the move from mortgage foreclosure investing to tax lien investing, or if you're a new investor just wondering how you can make money from tax foreclosure property, you'll need to answer a few questions to determine if it's right for you to buy tax liens.

1. Do you have a lot of cash to invest? If the answer is yes, then tax lien investing may be a nice way for you to make a killer interest rate on your investment-- but you'll need to come up with all the cash up front for your winning bid at tax sale.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After years of losing money to a series of investment professionals from various banks and brokerage firms, I decided to use their tools on my own to see what kind of results I could achieve. Hopefully you can do the same. This is not a system or a get rich quick scheme. This is hard work but it will get you the results that your broker cannot provide. 

Does this sound familiar? I have lost thousands of dollars or more in the markets and I was investing through a reputable broker or financial expert. I made this statement around the year 2000 after firing my 3rd broker on three years. After all the lying, arrogance, misrepresentation and down right dishonesty, I was through with brokers and brokerage firms. They had unwittingly given me the tools that I needed to take control of my own portfolio and out perform any result that I ever achieved with a brokerage firm.  

Most investors have received the basic education from the investment professional about asset allocation, investment mix and risk tolerance. These are the foundation of good long term investment. You can easily do this for yourself and save the broker or management fees. When the average investment is returning less than 10 percent, what sense is it to give away 2 or 3 percent to some guy in a suit just for doing some paperwork? There is just one last thing that the professionals know that we don't. What are the good investments and how do we pick them?  

One common tools that all of my former investment professionals used bar none were Bell Charts. These nifty charts were a rating system for mutual funds that took into account everything from the profitability of a fund to the expense ratio to how they perform against funds in the same category. This way, if you want to put say 20 percent of your portfolio into a bond fund, you could see at a glance which funds were performing the best for that category of investment. The biggest mistake that my last brokers made was to say that they would never let my money stay in an under-performing fund. When I fired them, most of my funds had slipped into the bottom 25 percent of the fund categories and they could not give me a good reason why.  

So, I opened an online brokerage account and moved all of my investments into it. Over two years I sold off my old investments. They were mostly rear loaded so I timed selling them when fees were lowest. I used my cash from these sales to buy new funds that I selected using information from Morningstar. This is a site that offers Bell Charts that you and I can use! Within a short time it was obvious that my brokers picks were not performing half as well as what I had selected using the Bell Charts from Morningstar. I had to figure out my asset mix but that only took a few minutes. Now I am making money and I am left wondering what I used to pay those guys in suits for anyway?

Morningstar has a variety of powerful investment tools for the private and professional investor.]]></description>
