- Things To Do Before Starting Your Own Business
By: Art Gib | - I am one of those strange people that always has a harebrained scheme in my head. My latest was to start a small business based on producing custom-ordered "aged documents," (which is a fun craft process involving tea or coffee, some heavy drawing paper, a gel pen, and some matches). It fell through, of course, but it was fun to imagine.
But maybe for you it goes beyond imagining. Maybe you have a real dream to bring your small business plan to life. Perhaps you have the skills an ...

- The Stimulus Package Isn't Enough: What Should Have Been Done With The 2008 Government Bailouts
By: Ron Wellman | - The recent stimulus package has been a topic of debate for many lately. Some feel like it's far too small, based on the gigantic bailout packages received by big business in recent months, and others feel like it's a slap in the face. The nerve of the government, giving us back such an insignificant portion of our own money! Why even bother?
Personally, I fall somewhere in the middle of the two camps. The government has been so committed to giving money to big business, when i ...

- Investment Performance Evaluation Re-evaluated: Part One
By: Steve Selengut | - It matters not what lines, numbers, indices, or gurus you worship, you just can't know for certain where the stock market is going or when it will change direction.

When a mutual fund charges fees such as a commission or set up fee, it is called a load mutual fund. No load funds do not charge any fees.You're probably assuming that a no load mutual fund is better because you don't pay any fees.

- What Is The Role Of Stockbroker?

By: David Schirmer | - I always ask people, What is your primary goal for investing in the market? What is your primary goal? Not to lose money! Your secondary goal is to make money. Your primary goal is not to lose it. So whenever we look at a market or look at a stock we want to make sure we know what the chances are of losing it, and this is probably one of the biggest flaws for most people involved in the market, they don't know what their risk is when they buy a stock of losing it.

The stock exchange is not the place for 'get rich quick' ambitions. If riches can be acquired in a flash, it's not in the investment field, despite appearances. While you may hear some home run stories, in the end, most averagely financed people hardly ever get rich from stock investments. Even if share value doubles in a year (a highly unlikely event), you will still ...
