About How To Become A Financial Planner

Sunday, September 7th, 2008

I think it’s high time I learned more about
How to Become a Financial Planner. I’m sick of practicing law, and would rather help individual people out with their finances.
I’ve read up on
the Financial Planning Process, and it looks like a law degree is a fine background for the business.
I couldn’t possibly care less about working with big corporations. I much prefer to help people I know with their finances.
Ok - that’s it for today.

A Look At Green Investing

Friday, August 29th, 2008

I think the time has passed when focusing on
Green Investing meant achieving sup-par results. I see green investments as the next big boom, and now is a great time to get in.
I’m especially excited about the potential of Socially Responsible Mutual Funds. Green enterprise and eco-friendly business practices are absolutely essential to our future.
I already vote with my wallet by paying attention to the products I buy, and cutting down on waste. It’s time to vote with my portfolio as well.

stock investment advice

Thursday, July 3rd, 2008

Every investment you make with your money carries a degree of risk, but there are certain investments that have the least amount of risk out there. A blue chip stock is a stock that has a demonstrated history of earning money and avoiding rapid changes in value over a long period of time. Support and resistance are measured by the volume over the price. Each time the stock reaches to the low of 17 dollars, A large amount of stock is bought by the crowds. No matter how long a company has been considered blue chip, there is always the chance that things could end badly. First step is to wait for the stock to reach for the one side of the canal. Even energy stocks, long considered the most stable of all, aren't immune to rapid price changes. The secret to staying on top of what companies are solid blue chip investments is simply staying current on the world of finance. Put stop loss limit to the extreme prices a bit above 20 in the higher side, or a bit below the 16 price. By the time it reaches close to the other side of the canal, tighten your stop. It is possible to beat the world of investing at its own game, but it isn't easy, and it takes a degree of dedication that many people aren't willing to put forth.

Thoughts On A Financial Planning Career

Saturday, June 14th, 2008

I’m thinking of checking out
A Financial Planning Career. It would be a shift, but I think I would enjoy it. I’d like to help real people get their finances in order.
From what I can tell after reading up on

Thinking About Green Investing

Tuesday, May 20th, 2008

I’ve been checking out the possibilities of
Green Investing more and more these days, and I am excited about them. I think it’s finally possible to put together a portfolio that’s good for your soul as well as the bottom line.
I’m most looking forward to learning more about Sustainable Investing. I think the potential is there to finally make some significant changes in the way business is done. And not a moment too soon.
It’s easy to blame big business for the evils of the world, but In the end, we are all responsible. All that would be required for corporations to end their environmental and social abuses is for the market to demand it. That means us. It means you.

Here are some tips that will get you up and running in the forex market.

Don’t just jump in and start spending money.  Many people have tried that and lost thousands.  Forex isn’t a game for the timid or novice player.  Companies do offer a trial account with practice money so you can see how the whole thing works.  It would be a good idea to start there and work your way up.Brokers are becoming more and more obsolete as people learn to do trading on their own.  Still, it may not be a bad idea to hire one, particularly if you’re new to the forex market.For the love of decency, only invest what you can afford to lose.  Don’t take out a mortgage over a “gut feeling” that you’re going to come out on top today.
