There are a few ways to buy mutual funds. Some of them depend on your level of technology knowledge, while other depend on your desired financial exposure. Knowing your technology means you can open an online account with a broker and trade for yourself. If that’s not a good option, you can go to a local broker’s office, and people there would be more than happy to help you.

If you do prefer to buy securities yourself, there are two important paths to take. One is to open an account with the actual mutual fund company. This is a good option for people who will only buy this type of securities, and for people who will make small contributions each month, since the fees should be much lower.

One of the most common amateur techniques for stock picking involves standing around the water cooler (or online message boards) and picking up on cues given by people who know someone who know someone else who knows yet another person who said this or that and, get this, Stock XYZ is where you want to be. In some cases, these tips work out to the advantage of all those who risked their grocery money or mortgage payments. In many more cases, however, those types of tips do not work out.

See, investing is a lot like the game of poker. While skill and knowledge are clearly valuable, there is always an element of luck. Even the greatest companies with the greatest results can see their stock price plummet… based simply on an outlook that was moderately lower than what investors had hoped for.

It was a glorious accident that I found My Life in Advertising and Scientific Advertising by Claude C. Hopkins. I’d been helping my Mom and Dad clear out their recycling and reusable goods. Mom sent me into the book exchange to drop off a bunch of old books and as I was sorting the books onto their proper shelves I found this book I’d heard about in marketing seminars. The book is filled with wisdom and lessons that are just applicable today as they were in the early 1900’s when Claude was building his career in advertising.

This book was a fascinating look at the life of a man who devoted his life to advertising. His accounts of turning money losing products into household names were brilliant and inspirational. His life lessons shared were priceless. And, I found many of his lessons applied to real estate just as much as advertising.

The easy application of his advertising lessons to real estate was delightful but not surprising. I believe that a good marketer WILL make an exceptional real estate investor. Continue reading ‘What Claude Hopkins Taught Me About Real Estate Investing’ »

You should be investing in gold for some very simple reasons having to do with the dollar. Investing in gold will protect you from the imminent dollar collapse and hedge your portfolio against inflation.

The following reasons show the US dollar is in serious decline, and why investing in gold is essential:

1. As the dollar continues to inflate (and the U.S. Government has set this in cement with their quantitative easing policy), your buying power with those dollars will shrink.
2. You take out insurance to protect your home and valuables from future loss. It makes even more sense to protect your purchasing power from future loss when you know that you are losing it every day through the hidden taxation of currency devaluation.
