“I’m going to simplify what I consider to be the best investment advice I have ever been given and share it with you. Here you go:
1. If you have any credit card or other type of consumer debt on which you pay 5pct or more interest, pay it off. Compound interest is your enemy. The chances of you earning more on your money than you are paying in consumer interest rates are slim. Pay it off.
2. Cash is King. Now that Madoff is in jail, no investment can offer returns with zero risk. If you don’t fully understand the risks of an investment you are contemplating, it’s ok to do nothing. In times of massive uncertainty like we are facing today, doing nothing is a valid and IMHO preferable investment strategy. Just put your money in the bank.
The Stock Market is still for suckers and why you should put your money in the bank…
“I wrote a whole series of articles warning people about the stock market over the years. You can see them here. It’s gotten worse. So I thought i would write some more about why you should probably avoid putting any new money into the stock market…”
A web video blog about lifestyle design, passive income, real estate, vending machines, used cars, and eustress challenges. Grant and Alan revisit the Investment Club. We meet the members and run some numbers to see how it is doing. It is game 4 of the ‘Ren-lympics,’ Grant leads 2-1 but Alan is zoning in to sweep the final events. But can Grant hold on to the lead?
What in the world is this post going to be about?!?
1) Elijah Peelle makes his debut in The Adventures of Squido. Please enjoy!
2) Zach Daulton, one of our video guys, threw his hat in the ring a for Bounty commercial. Who would have ever thought Bounty could bring out imagination? ZD did.
3) Tony Robbins speech at TED is always worth a look…
4) One final thought…Life is to be enjoyed and feel good about yourself, to love, be loved and continual learning, (Thanks Timmy Ferriss)…Soooooooo, if today were the last day of your life, would you want to do what your are about to do today? Remembering that you are going to die is the best way to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. Do what you love, life is short.
