Simple Financial Truths

Simple Financial Truths

By:


However something gets lost in the heat of the moment, when YOUR money is on the line causing the application of this simple truth to fail. Something that makes you lose sight of this simple truth. Unfortunately at some point it ceases to become a series of financial decisions and becomes perhaps a series of emotional ones. During this heated time you forget that the most important thing is to decide if the reason for investing in this instrument has changed. Has the investment stopped going in your direction? I contend that this is the most important question that you must ask-and keep asking-while your money is on the line. The answer while not immediately apparent is key to what you do next. Whatever criteria you use, you must have the answer to the questions-is THIS investment still increasing in value or is there some better place I could put my money where it will either have better appreciation, less erosion of value or more generation of income? While this may seem too simplistic a series of questions, when you see the huge losses sustained all around you in various(even yours) portfolios, its abundantly clear that someone isnt asking these simple questions.

Questions asked. Now where do you find the answers? Having this information is no guarantee of action, but its the necessary next step in the process of making informed financial choices. Tomes have been written about financial analysis and various theories of buying, holding and selling. I propose that in the final analysis, the answers are very simple-what you want to know is: Am I making money, losing money or just keeping pace with inflation?

In Ten Minutes to Financial Freedom, I get to the heart of the matter by showing you how to make this key determination. Learning to interpret these simple criteria will allow you in minutes to make this assessment. Having this key tool in your investment arsenal will help your decision making and bolster your confidence in challenging any recommendations to buy or sell and financial instruments that dont meet these most basic criteria.

To your increased financial situational awareness.
