		<description><![CDATA[Is your destiny, your financial future controlled by you, a family member, a financial person chosen by you or a total stranger?

In other words: Who's in control of your investments, or your retirement account, of your MONEY?

These can be scary questions especially if you think you are not qualified to manage your own retirement account, create one or invest in the stock market. The truth is, I believe almost every single person can manage their financial future. Perhaps you need a little assistance, but you can not only do it, but probably do it better than almost anyone else.

Controlling your financial future involves just a few key factors:

&#8226; Time - are you willing to spend 30 minutes a week, perhaps an hour managing and developing your financial future? Your retirement account?

Yes, this means finding 30 minutes almost every week, perhaps skipping a TV show, but the reward is equivalent to paying yourself the "big bucks".

&#8226; Method - invest some initial time to review software that can aid you with recommendations for what stocks, ETFs or mutual funds to buy and when; plus equally important when to sell and especially critical, when you should sell out and stay out of the stock market to preserve and protect your money.

The software should be flexible enough to meet your goals, your personality -conservative - moderate - aggressive.

Preferably the software shouldn't require months to learn or even a college degree.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Are fixed rate bonds a wise option for your investment portfolio in 2012? With savings account rates scraping the bottom of the barrel, and an increasingly unpredictable stock market, fixed rate bonds can provide a happy medium for those seeking a little bit more for their money without the degree of risk associated with stock market investment - but are the fixed rates a problem?

When you purchase a fixed rate bond you receive a set rate of interest across a pre-agreed period of time in return for the loan of your capital. The fixed period is usually between 6 months and 5 years.

Your fixed interest rate is usually guaranteed unless the bond provider goes bust. The value of your capital is not normally guaranteed, so you may not get back the full amount of capital you put in.

Fixed rate bonds will often provide very competitive rates when compared to traditional savings accounts, so if you were to base your decision on current interest rates investing in fixed rate bonds can look like a very good option indeed.

What worries many is that when you take out a fixed rate bond you will usually have to make a commitment for a certain period of time.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Should you hold Alternative Investments in your portfolio?

So you've decided to reduce your exposure to equities in order to avoid the price volatility that seems to be driven by the latest piece of political rhetoric about national debt or economic growth. You're no longer seeing the value of your investments rise and fall by considerable margins on a daily basis, and you're sitting on a nice pile of 'safe' cash. But you probably also need to find a home for your capital where it will grow at least in line with inflation, hopefully generate some income, whilst sharing little correlation with the performance of equities, bonds and other traded financial instruments.

So now is the time you start to consider alternative investments.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There is a difference between being afraid to invest and be cautious. When you are considering whether or not to buy stocks, invest in ETFs or purchase mutual funds for your financial future being afraid to act does nothing but insure that you will not be successful.

Being cautious with your investments is totally different from being afraid. Caution should be part of every investment decision.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[An independent investment advisor is someone who will help you with your long-term investment goals. They will handle all types of investing, which is usually done to plan for retirement. The earlier you get started on retirement planning the better, but in a lot cases, younger adults don't think about these things.

The mentality of "I have plenty of time" is common among young people, yet if they took the time to get started early, it becomes a way of life that they don't really even have to think about and by the time they reach retirement, they have a huge nest egg that can be the difference between struggling as an elderly person, or having a life that is stress free financially.

Independent investment advisors are trained in many aspects of investing.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How do you protect your investments with stops? This is a good question. Should you sell your mutual funds, ETFs or stocks only when a strategy says so, even if it is a strategy updated weekly or monthly? Or should you set stops with your broker following the same stop rules as in your strategy, but letting them activate whenever necessary?

I usually set the stops with my online broker and if they execute mid-week on my weekly strategies, I simply wait until the weekend to get the signal of what action to take from my investment analysis software This way I am protected from major losses. This doesn't work well, however if you set stops that are really tight, like one or two percent, because a fund, ETF or stock can rebound that amount when the markets are topsy turvey.

Let me give you an example: let's say that my investment program recommended buying EWD and VALU.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A recent article in a noted financial magazine discussed the folly of market timing versus buying and holding good stocks. The author pointed out how a ten year investment in a strong stock could produce substantial gains, while admitting that buying and selling the same stock a few times during the 10 years produced almost twice the results...but only if you timed the purchase-sale correctly. In essence, with many examples and reasons, he shot down the concept of market timing while making his case for buy &#038; hold.

The true folly of anti-market timing arguments is that they always focus on tracking particular tickers symbols and questioning the ability to buy or sell at the right time.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Reading the recent business headlines, confidence surveys and economic strategy reports regarding the market volatility in Greece and the US, it is apparent that we are all concerned about things continuing to head downhill. This market volatility, including the insolvency issues in Greece and high unemployment rates in the US, will continue as governments reluctantly accept this outcome and in the aftermath global economic growth (and consequently investment returns) will remain below average for years to come. However, there are still some positive areas to be encouraged by, amongst the long list of worrisome points.

'Return' sounds pretty straight forward and is popular. In fact many chart programs are in effect illustrating the return of a ticker symbol simply by showing the movement of the ticker's price.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Exchange Traded Funds like the broad-based SPDR Standard &#038; Poor's 500 ETF (NYSE: SPY) offer excellent stock diversification. But as the last decade shows, even optimal diversification is not sufficient to produce long-term capital growth with the usual buy &#038; hold strategies.

The SPY ETF lost in the 2000-2010 decade around 15%. 10 years of holding ETFs without buffering them against medium term market price corrections and bear market downtrends resulted in a loss.

The two large market retracements of the current year 2011 illustrate already how intermediate downtrends affect annual ETF portfolio performance and that this volatile market environment isn't over.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Staying prepared and ready to invest when the markets are down or rolling like a roller coaster is a challenge, but there are a few key actions that will help. There are obvious and the not so obvious steps to take.

When stocks or ETFs or mutual funds are sliding the question always is when will they land and when they do land will there be a deafening splat or will you and the markets pop upright ready to go?

The obvious get ready actions:

&#8226; Continue to monitor the markets at your normal pace whether it be weekly or daily.

&#8226; Pay attention to key news items like new housing starts, sales of existing homes, unemployment trends and the level of manufacturing. These indicators are important because when people buy a home they usually have to spend more money in the months ahead furnishing or fixing up their new home to match their desires and needs.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA["...Move out of stocks or gold because I think they've been too hot and will crash soon", or "put some money in X because I think it's going to be hot soon." If I had a dollar every time I heard such things from clients, prospective clients, or people at a gathering after they find out that I'm a financial adviser, I could retire to the French Riviera right now, only to be seen by my family and friends during the holidays and hunting season.

In the past 20 or so years, the general public has gained access to various information, tools, and calculators that in the past were only available to financial professionals. Go to the website of a major discount broker and punch in some basic information and all the work will be done for you without having to understand all of the nuts and bolts. Most people get so much educational material thrown at them by their 401k/403b plan, one might begin to wonder how we're able to replace all the trees that had to be cut down to print it all.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am regularly asked by clients and investors of the importance of company management. When deciding to invest in a company, out of all the attributes and qualities that we review, we first focus on how important are the people in charge. Secondly how do we measure this?

Some of the attributes and qualities that we look at when reviewing a share investment include: are debt levels under control? And, what is the growth potential? However, these review factors quickly become meaningless if there is not a strong and trustworthy leadership in place.

People in managerial positions have a tremendous impact on the success, or failure, of a business.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A big investment pitfall can be summed up in one word: greed. A major challenge when investing in stocks, ETFs or mutual funds is to remain with a working system, a methodology that produces results.

Too often new or even experienced investors get caught up in the "investing game", the hype about what can be, the success story flowing from some sensational, but self-promoting newsletter or advertisement. There are dozens of ways to invest in the markets, not just stocks or ETFs or mutual funds, but using options or margin, buying and selling commodities, are amongst the many.

The key, as I have previously written, is to learn what suits you best and then to stick with it.]]></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[1) Which single asset class are you most bullish (or bearish) about in the coming year? What ETF position would you choose to best capture that?

If I could own just one stock or ETF, then it would have to be Vanguard's Total World Stock Index ETF (VT). Perhaps I'm taking the question a little too literally or perhaps I just lack the necessary convictions in my (or anyone's) market predictions to choose anything more focused. VT is the most diversified ETF capturing the largest percentage of the world stock market capitalization.

I don't know why I would accept anything less, unless I could tell the future - which I can't do, no matter how hard I try! Therefore I'll go with the ETF that gives me the highest probability of achieving a fair return: VT.

2) How does this ETF fit into your overall investment approach?

Investor Solutions has some straightforward investing biases.]]></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>

Short term measures have been implemented which has shifted the focus to other countries such as Italy, which is experiencing similar debt levels, but 6 times larger and therefore much more important. We have expanded on this some more below.

Although Italy has other strengths compared to Greece such as lower fiscal deficits, higher private sector savings, a strong banking systems plus lower unemployment levels, Italy does have high debt levels.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In Part One of this article, we highlighted strategies that proactive investors can use to better protect their financial security. The strategies mentioned in Part One were more oriented toward the investment account as a whole.

However, most securities claims involve allegations of unsuitability and/or breach of fiduciary duty regarding investment products and/or investment advisory services. Given the number of investment options available to investors today, it is easy for an unscrupulous stockbroker or investment adviser to take advantage of an investor, especially an inexperienced investor.

The following strategies can be used by the proactive investors to avoid some of the more common complaints in securities claims.

		<description><![CDATA[Back in the 90's there was a comedy series entitled, British Men Behaving Badly which basically depicted the drunken life of two roommates who acted like a couple of two year olds. The title must have been pretty compelling to producers, because it resurfaced in 2002, when the Oxygen network had a three year run with a reality show called, Girls Behaving Badly.

I think if we got together in the investment world, we could come up with a few reality shows of our own. Investors Behaving Badly could depict the real life irrational thinking patterns of individuals who confidently fill out their risk profile questionnaire, determine a strategy for investment success, and then quickly cave under the first signs of pressure.

Here's our predictable cast of characters.]]></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>

		<description><![CDATA[Investing in high-yield, consistent dividend paying stocks, funds or even ETFs is often suggested as a conservative way to get income into your checking account while providing a strong degree of investment security. While this may be true, investing in these type positions can also provide great gains and huge profits.

So investing in high-yield dividend payers isn't necessarily just for conservative investors because you can reap some great rewards and build a strong portfolio with these positions. In fact even a moderate to aggressive investor may be hard pressed on why they should avoid these investments.

I conducted a variety of tests to show how these investments can pay off quite handsomely and build anyone's portfolio, especially a retirement account.

For my test I put together a group of 43 dividend paying stocks.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How frequently do you need to trade ETFs, stocks or mutual funds to make money? Most folks will say daily, but the answer may surprise you.

Using a software program that enables back testing I conducted a series of tests using a small group of ETFs. The group I used contained 12 sector ETFs and SPX, the S&#038;P 500 as the benchmark or comparison symbol.

I decided to keep my test somewhat simple although I could have added in more selling rules that could have made the results, the money earned, even better. I tested with buy signals based on the Alpha method of relative strength analysis, a ranking cutoff to maintain ownership in the best tickers, with the best purchase and trailing high stops the program could find to provide the best results.

My key variable was how long did I prefer to hold a position before selling.]]></description>

One of the things that makes baseball so great is the fact that although there is plenty of team effort involved, there is always that moment of truth between the pitcher and the batter when it essentially becomes a one-on-one.

Before their turn at bat, every batter warms up in the on-deck circle.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Can you always find a winning investment? What about when the markets are in turmoil either from economic forces, nature's disasters or political forces?

The answer depends upon two factors: how you define "winning", and when you want the stock, ETF or fund to produce gains.

When the markets are in turmoil and almost everything is dropping there may be safe havens that can be defined as winning investments. These include: bonds (or bond ETFs and bond funds), money market cash accounts, and high yield dividend paying stocks, funds or ETFs with trong long-term history of always paying their dividends. Winning investments in these situations can also be based on the concept of buying low with the idea of holding the position for a mid to long term measured in years, not days, weeks or months.

While most software programs that provide buy - sell recommendations are based on immediate trends there are a few programs that allow you the option of configuring them so you can pick long term investments or safe investments.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Getting back into the market after you have moved all or most of your portfolio to cash requires both a plan and patience. Being impatient can put your portfolio at risk.

After you have moved out of the markets typically you will have to deal with two worries:

&#8226; Am I getting in back in too early or too late?&#8226; Should I invest all my cash immediately or space it out?

The answer to the first situation is to trust the method of investing you have been using. If you are using an investment software program to analyze and provide buy/sell signals and it has been successful for you in the past, then wait for new buy signals.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You may have noticed that the New Zealand dollar has been particularly strong lately - currently sitting just below its all time highs at around US$0.82. The NZD has averaged at US$0.60 ever since floating in March 1985; therefore it is approximately 36% above that historic average.

The two reasons for this strength are well understood, and are problems being faced by many countries, including NZ, around the world.1 - The terrible US budget deficit. 2 - High levels of debt and a property market that many believe has not yet reached the bottom.

In comparison, NZ is in a comparatively better state.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are certain principles, certain keys to investing if you are retired. Yes, there are many books on the subject and new magazine articles almost every month, but somehow they seem to either miss the key factors or their verbiage is so long the key points are glossed over.

It's kind of like when I go for a hike in Glacier National Park. What I want to know is:

What are the key characteristics of the trial?

What are the viewing highlights along the trail and at its destination?

What's the weather forecast?

What animals may I see?

Have there been bear sightings?

Because I'm not a scientist I don't want to know the geology every ten feet along the way, nor the name of every flower, plant and tree (some yes, but not every darn posey).

It's the same with managing your retirement funds.]]></description>

You may, for example, want to develop a portfolio based on energy, consumer goods, South America and health.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How should you react to turbulent markets? What is the best course of action to take when the economy is bouncing violently or the politicians are playing with your economic future?

The answer is not to be an ostrich and run and hide but to prepare and if necessary take decisive action.

We know the economy can be hammered by political events and posturing or by sudden financial news. These causes of market turbulence, where one day the market is up 155 points and down 95 points the next day, require a game plan and stalwart constitution.

There are three keys to handling your investments during crazy, up, down markets:

&#8226; Be prepared to safeguard your investments.&#8226; Be prepared to buy new positions when the markets decide the roller coaster ride is over and it's time to climb the mountain again.&#8226; Be prepared to hunt for current investment stars despite the turbulence.

Safeguarding your investments may mean that you need to sell. You may not want to sell everything, but you may want to sell the majority of your holdings and move into bond or treasury ETFs, bond mutual funds or rock solid stocks that pay high dividends.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While investing in stocks for the long-run is always a prudent idea, stock price gains are not always assured over short term investing horizons because broad market forces control stock dips and rallies. Even the best run companies take a dive when investor sentiment sours!

To address these uncertainties, smart investors know that their stock portfolios must contain blue chip stocks, growth stocks, and so-called "dividend heroes".

Dividend Independence

However, fortunately for investors, individual companies, not market sentiment, control the fate of their own dividend payouts. If a solid company's shares drop on a broad market pullback, it likely will still pay dividends if its earnings are solid.

So dividends are an investor's friend because they provide income that gooses market returns, and a layer of diversification against the broader market.

When markets are rallying, most investors, barring the level-headed and well-advised ones, pooh-pooh dividend stocks and focus solely on growth stock.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Are you treating yourself like an Investment Advisor or like a stock broker? There is a huge difference, or at least a potential difference in how an investment advisor would manage your portfolio versus how a broker would handle it.

If you are managing your own retirement account, your own investment account to develop wealth, you should be acting as a self-employed Investment Advisor. In SEC jargon that means you have a fiduciary obligation to manage the account for the best results regardless of other personal objectives. This applies equally to your spouse's account.

In plain English this means that you should trade to meet the goals and objectives of the account owner.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You have many options for developing trading strategies with ETFs. These Exchange Traded Funds have become very popular because they resemble mutual funds but offer the flexibility of trading like stocks.

Typical screening methods are offered by most brokerage websites that allow you to screen based on performance over different time periods or, for example, by industry or economic sector. Trading based on these methods is the most elementary.

Good ETF investment strategies require a bit more work and decision making.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Opinions abound about when you should quit investing in the stock market. Equally, there are just as many onions and theories for when you should start investing or going back into the markets. Some of these make sense while many are simply based on feelings, too many beers or whims.

There are arguments for never exiting the markets, although the recent recession and losses, however, temporary, of substantial dollars in almost everyone's retirement or regular investment account, makes this a hard argument to support.

On the other hand, making an "exit" decision is possible if it is based on reliable, measurable criteria.

There are different techniques to establish a signal for when to stop trading, whether it be mutual funds, stocks or ETFs within which you place your hard-earned cash.

In his book, Smarter Investing in Any Economy, Michael Carr speaks of an equity curve as giving just such an "Exit" or a "Return" signal.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Investment goals revolve around your personality, your resources and, yes, how much money you want to make. Defining your investment goals requires more than just saying I want to make money.

Failure to define your goals will result in not achieving the profits you deserve and secretly want. Sometimes we are afraid to voice or write down what it is we really want, yet not doing so actually sets us up for mediocre results.

The keys to achieving the best investment results come from knowing what you are aiming for and what resources you bring to the table.

In general the keys to establishing and achieving your goals revolve around:

 Personality
 Time
 Current financial resources
 Future financial resources
 Profit uses

Personality: Be honest with yourself and ask your spouse or friends if necessary:

Are you a risk taker? If so, how much? Are you willing to lose money in order to make money? In other words, if you were managing a baseball team how likely would it be for you to call for a squeeze bunt play? Or would you (with one friend) go for an all day hike in the back country of Glacier National Park (famous for its stunning mountain vistas and grizzly bears)?

In other words, are you more likely to be a conservative or an aggressive investor, or perhaps your personality falls somewhere in between?

Time: Does work and family or sports and hobbies chew up most of your time? Can you find 30 minutes a day, or just 30 minutes or an hour a week to manage your investments?

Would you rather be fishing, out on a date, watching a movie or TV than making investment decisions?

An aggressive investor will have time almost every day to make investment decisions while a conservative investor can usually spend just 30 minutes a week or maybe just every other week or two reviewing his portfolio.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Have you ever been approached by someone in Asia trying to sell you shares? They're good, aren't they? Very good. Ever wondered how their tips always pay off (until you buy them that is)? Here's how..

Suppose some guy calls you on the telephone saying that he is an investment advisor and that he wants to give you some free share tips so that you can evaluate how good he is.

Suppose he calls you once a month for six months and each time gives you one stock to buy or sell that month and each month his tip comes good - when he told you to buy the stock he picked for that month, it went up and when he told you to sell it went down.

After six months, or maybe less, you might be willing to entrust some money to him to invest on your behalf. It would be at this time you would likely find that the 100% track record does not continue.

Let me explain how it is possible for someone to give investment advice with a 100% success ratio for six consecutive months.

Step 1 - There is someone sitting somewhere with a telephone.]]></description>

Before signing with a financial planner, wealth manager or financial advisor, here is some information that can help you avoid one of the most deadly investment traps...gambling with your nest egg.

Financial planners are often selling products instead of peace of mind, more concerned about their commissions than your financial security. Now, I'm not saying that all financial planners are bad, but the truth is that often times their hands are tied. Financial planners who work for broker-dealers have certain obligations to push or recommend specific products.]]></description>

There are principles to be followed in setting up your investment portfolios, and I have discussed them previously:

 Portfolios - what kind and how many
 Diversification - why, types and how
 Rules - when and how to buy and to sell

I suggest that each portfolio have about eight investment positions of stocks or mutual funds or ETFs. The key principal here may sound contrary but is critical to the overall performance of your portfolio, of each of your portfolios.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Are you a conservative investor? Almost everyone is to some degree but if you are always concerned about not losing, about retaining your hard-earned cash, then you probably fit the mold for a true conservative investor. The good news is that there are sound strategies for conservative investors that can still grow your money, maybe not like a bamboo tree but surely like a solid oak tree.

And there is nothing wrong with saying you are conservative investor, that you want to leave the risky stock investing to others. When retirement comes, or a rainy day, conservative investors are confident they have money to meet their future needs.

There are degrees of conservative investing and it is important to recognize where you stand.]]></description>

What it takes to be an investor is the same desire it took to learn how to drive a car, figure out the features of a smartphone, or know how much you can spend on groceries this week.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Let me start by asking the following:
Are you finding yourself questioning the value of your financial advisor?
Are you feeling that your financial best interests are NOT being served?
Are you losing trust and confidence in Wall Street and the financial services industry?
Are you fearful that your investments are not protected from the next major market meltdown?
Are you lacking confidence in achieving your retirement goals and needs?


"When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don't adjust the goals, adjust the action steps." - Confucius

Perhaps you or someone you know personally experienced the pain from the past 'decade of lost returns' due to:
Two bubbles that burst costing trillions of dollars in investor losses
The market's volatility creating investor uncertainty and fear
The un-denying greed and self-serving nature of Wall Street, the financial services industry and the majority of those that work in it


One did not have to personally experience financial loss to understand this pain and the long-term negative consequences that are, and will continue to be felt by so many investors, especially retirees and the baby-boom generation. Many investors are now having to rethink their retirement plans. Can they retire when planned? If not, how much longer will they have to work or will they have to down-size their retirement dreams and lifestyle? None of these are options anyone wants to face as they near their golden years.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Investing in a turbulent, up and down, crazy market can be a real challenge. In fact many investors go to the sidelines and simply wait out the crazy times rather than risk losing their money. But this doesn't have to be the case.

When markets are bouncing up and down rather than moving steadily upwards with occasional dips this can be scaring but still be very profitable if you follow a few key principles - and even these principles have a few options.

First, remember it is critical to keep your emotions in check.]]></description>

Even if you are not a "conservative" investor you may still want to invest a portion of your portfolio conservatively to help balance or diversify your portfolio.]]></description>

Options for making your investment decisions include:

 Hunches - sometimes our instincts can be rewarding, but just as often they can cost us money because a hunch is based on what we think we know and not on what is possible to know with research or analysis.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Buying, picking a stock, ETF or mutual fund to purchase is often considered the hard part of investing, but selling and knowing when and why to sell can be far more difficult. Selling can be hard, particularly if you become emotionally attached to your holdings.

Removing your emotions from the decision making process can be like switching from buying a Chevy after having had six, to Ford's; not easy! But if you follow set selling rules you will maximize your profits and minimize any investment losses.

The key to unemotional selling is to have rules or parameters that when met "require' you to sell your investment. Such rules include (but are not limited to):

 Decline - if the stock goes down a certain percent or a certain dollar amount.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Selecting your method for Investing in the stock market can be somewhat scary. With today's internet popularity a Google search will give you 16,900,000 results if you ask, "how to invest in the stock market." The same question on Amazon produces 338 results. So what can you do?

I have previously discussed many aspects of investing and sources for selecting your trading method, but with all the resources available on the internet, printed books and eBooks, it can get confusing, if not overwhelming.

A few authors have pumped out not just one or two but many books advising you on how to manage your money and how to invest.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Your trading philosophy or method should have two critical components: buying and selling. While they may share some parts of the decision making process other parts are totally separate.

There are so many types and theories for buying, for investing in the markets that I am going to highlight just a few primary means. The primary means for picking what to buy also have many sub categories.

 Relative Strength Momentum - the definitive discussion is in Michael Carr's book, "Smarter Investing In Any Economy" (the second edition was released in April 2011 by Traders Press). Investor's Business Daily &#038; the philosophy of publisher William O'Neil, also his books, "24 Essential Lessons for Investment Success" and "The Successful Investor". DRIP investing as explained in the books, "All About Drips and DSPs" and "Buying Stocks Without A Broker." Magazines that provide articles and tips and the best current buys: Money Magazine, SmartMoney, Kiplinger's and others. Newsletters with tips and recommendations for what to buy.]]></description>

This is concerning for investors because of the potential for high oil prices to further upset an already delicate recovery.

		<description><![CDATA[Investing in ETFs has become both extremely popular and easy. Many of the pitfalls or challenges of investing in mutual funds do not apply to ETFs and this has led many former fund investors into ETFs.

As I mentioned in a previous article, ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds) are similar to mutual funds because an ETF represents investments in a number of stocks. For example:

The financial services companies like Fidelity, Charles Schwab and financial planners are the ones making all of the money. The problem is that most people have very little financial education in order to invest for retirement properly so they hand over their money to someone they HOPE will have the right knowledge base to safely increase their wealth.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The final key to protecting your investments, to diversifying your portfolio is the realization that you have to do it and do it with all the key elements.

I have written about many of the diversification elements in previous articles; let's review and put them to work:

 Your time element Investment categories Stocks, ETFs or Mutual Funds Your risk factor

If you are relatively typical - willing to take a bit of risk and you can spend up to an hour a week reviewing your investments, then this is my suggestions for diversifying your money, your investment portfolio:

First, try and decide the time spot each week when you are going to review your investments, and maybe pick an alternative time spot because we all know that when kids get rambunctious or family visits the best laid plans of man disappear in the clouds.

Second, pick your investment categories. Pick more categories than you may use but don't go overboard. Remember you can really only manage about eight things at once.

My typical categories are:1.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A fifth way to manage your investments is simply to let someone else do it. Unlike the four ways I previously wrote about, this method involves hiring someone and giving up control.

Essentially you hire, retain is the nicer wording, a financial planner or Registered Investment Advisor (RIA). There are advantages to doing this, just as there are disadvantages and pitfalls.

By hiring a professional you are asking someone whose job it is to trade in the markets to manage your money while giving up almost all control over your investments.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Finding cash to invest is a challenge for many people, maybe for yourself. But it really can be overcome.

Many authors have written that you just need to give up "small" things every day or week and that will give you more cash. But my experience is that those who drink that cup of latte every morning on the way to work depend upon that drink to stimulate and get them going, so while eliminating the latte may put a few bucks in the wallet, it may also affect your daily performance in the wrong way.

Many years ago I heard the phrase "pay yourself first" and it has been repeated in articles on a consistent basis.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How you diversify your investment portfolio should relate to the amount of time you can spend managing your investments.

If you have very little time or just want to spend a few hours (or less) a month managing your portfolio than you will want to look at mutual funds, stocks that will be for the long term or ETFs for the long term.

If you are willing to trade more frequently, or even very frequently, then you can use different criteria in picking your investments.

Most mutual funds have restrictions on how frequently you can trade without paying a penalty. Some funds require that you hold them 30, 60 or even 90 days. Such holds automatically reduce your trading activity.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Diversifying your investments has two benefits: you can reduce the risk of losing money while also doing the opposite and increasing the chances for greater gains.

The process of diversifying your portfolio can be as complicated as you wish to make it or relatively easy. Many authors and magazines publish articles regularly about allocating (another word for diversification) your money in your portfolio. Typically these recommendations are based on your age with the presumption you're income will follow a cycle that leaves you with nothing in your golden years.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ways to diversify your investment portfolio abound. Philosophies and recommendations appear monthly if not daily and weekly in the media.

Diversification could easily be the subject of a book, much less a basic article. There are many ways to diversify your portfolio but first you must understand that the basic reason is to protect your investments.

The first step is to decide how many investment accounts you want.

Most people trade in either their regular account to grow their wealth and cash, or in a retirement account.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Where should you put your investment money? What should you trade? These are the big daunting questions. With more than 28,000 symbols in the markets how do you pick?

My first rule is don't take "tips".

My second rule is don't buy just because someone else says to.

Now with those rules out of the way let's discuss your options. You have three basic choices from which you can choose or you can even mix all three.The markets contain:

Stocks, which everybody has heard of, whether it be large companies like International Business Machines (known as IBM) and Ford (F), or small companies like Datalink (DTLK).Mutual Funds which are groups of stocks, like Fidelity select Automotive (FSAVX) or Vanguard Dividend Growth (VDIGX).

ETFs which are similar to mutual funds except that the groups are not 'managed' and trade like stocks, for example: iShares Brazil (EWZ).

These are the primary types of stock market investments you may make.]]></description>

This type of loan option is not something that is available to everyone and you should always take the time to make sure that you are doing whatever it takes to learn about your investment options as well as what is real versus what isn't. Leased letters of credit are a unique investment option that usually earns about an 8-15% return depending on the exact details of the credit line and the people involved in the agreement.

Some investment professionals claim that leasing out letters of credit doesn't make sense because it is either not possible or it isn't worth the effort.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Safekeeping receipts (SKRs) are a great way to protect investments, assets, privacy, and the valuable items that you don't want to store in your home and risk losing. You can store these items in an offsite storage facility or bank vault to protect them. In exchange, you are given a receipt that proves that you have such an item, what its face value is, and other details so that you know exactly what you have and how much it is worth.

In the event that you need funding for any type of investment, you can lease safekeeping receipts and receive cash funding that is usually 40-70 percent of the face value of the items that you have in storage somewhere.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Becoming a loan shark is an aspiration that might not appeal to everyone, as it has somewhat criminal connotations due to the checkered past of the mafia lending money to those in need, then enforcing those debts with violence if necessary. However, today, those who are interested in investing in startup companies might find that a good way to do this is through loaning their money privately to individuals who need it. However, to keep everything legal and above board, there are certain ways that you need to go about this.

To begin with, you must assess your own finances, to see if you have adequate funds that will allow you to start loaning to other people.]]></description>
