- Should You Buy Bonds As Well As Stocks
By: Caterina Christakos | - Are Bonds a lucrative investment? First, think about what your short term and long term goals are before deciding to invest in bonds.

- Bonds Investing
By: Kaiden | - Bonds Investing

- Gold And The Financial Crisis
By: Charles Vollum | - Gold is a type of money, just like Dollars, Euros, Pounds and Yen. Unlike these other forms of money, gold has been around for thousands of years, while many fiat systems have come and gone. Because the amount of gold in the world cannot be increased without finding and mining more of it, its value is fairly constant. This is in stark contrast to the fiat monies which can be created on command by governments and central banks.

- Dont Let Your Investments Control You
By: Bill Byrnes | - Which of your investments worried you most during the recent market correction? If it was one of your smaller holdings, you're not alone.
We all have only so much time and so many brain cells to devote to investing. If you're focusing yours on a tiny portion of your investments, the majority of your net worth is going unwatched.
Many investors I speak with are focused on only one or two of their investments or, worse, are fixated on the one they sold which has ...

- Speculate For Growth, Not For Income
By: Bill Byrnes | - There's an old adage in the brokerage community that you should speculate for growth, not for income. Speculation isn't the right word, but the broker who coined it (pun intended) probably wasn't an English major (most brokers aren't).
The point is that you should take risk with investments which you expect to increase in value, i.e., stocks, but not with investments made to generate current income, i.e., fixed income securities. This is an essential maxim if you are dependent ...

- Leverage Land Mines
By: Bill Byrnes | - Financial leverage is like a land mine. You might be unaware of it until it blows up. Buying stocks on margin is an obvious form of leverage (the mortgage on your home is another) and all of us understand how risky it is to buy on margin.
Simply put, leverage magnifies your gain or loss and, since you're borrowing money which must be repaid, you can lose more than your entire investment (the investment and the loan amount). Okay, you say, point made, but I don't leverage my ...

- Are You An Investor Or Trader?
By: Randy Martin | - Securities investment falls under the broader umbrella of bond and stock market investing. Apportionment of investments depends on the level of risk you are comfortable with. Investment in bonds has less risk of loss than stocks, but also less potential for gain, particularly during periods of inflation. On the flip side of the coin, stock market investing has more potential for high yields, but with no guarantee against loss, since stock prices are more volatile.

- Annuities: Better Alternatives Than Equity-indexed Annuities

- Investing: It's Your Money Take Control Of It!
By: Jeffrey Voudrie | - One of the biggest mistakes I frequently see investors make is needlessly losing control of their money. Any time you pay a hefty commission or face surrender penalties in order to get YOUR money you lose control. Losing control severely limits access to YOUR money and limits your flexibility to make changes. This can trap you in an under-performing investment adding years to the time needed to reach your goals.

- Annuities: Equity-indexed Annuities: There Are Better Growth Alternatives
By: Jeffrey Voudrie | - Everybody wants to find the secret to investing on Wall Street. But the truth is, you don't have to be a genius to be a successful equity investor. And you don't have to lock your money into restrictive investments like equity indexed annuities (EIAs), either. In this article I'll explain several growth oriented investments that I feel are far better than an EIA.
The opportunity for growth in an EIA is based on the performance of an index. When someone invests in an EIA, they typ ...

- Investing: It's All About The Cash
By: Jeffrey Voudrie | - It's vital that your nest egg last longer than you do. The only way for that to occur is if the nest egg continues to grow over time. If you take out more than you earn you are guaranteed to run out of money at some point. If your nest egg continues to grow, though, it will always last longer than you.
The first issue is how much money you can receive on a monthly basis. The second issue is how long you will live. The bottom line is that you need your income and your nest egg to ...

- Annuities: Why You Shouldn't Annuitize
By: Jeffrey Voudrie | - As more companies do away with their pension programs, the insurance industry and the media are heavily promoting the use of immediate annuities to provide a dependable income stream during your retirement. But is that in your best interest? Normally, I say it is not. Read on to find out why.
An immediate annuity is one where you pay an insurance company a lump sum in return for a stream of income. You can decide if the income stream is guaranteed for a certain number of years (pe ...

- Options Of Investments For The Time You Retire
By: Max Plata | - Many people plan to depend solely upon their social security checks to get them by in their golden years, but the cold, hard fact of the matter is that social security is not enough. In today's economy, where housing prices and rental rates have risen at phenomenal rates, the $800 per month that social security pays is barely enough to cover housing costs in most cases, much less insurance premiums and food.
For this reason, it is important that everyone develop a financial plan, ...
