Smart investors are starting to realize
that no one but themselves has their absolute best interest
at heart. Who but yourself knows your family's needs
and dreams? Who else knows how much risk and exposure to the swings of the market you are willing to live with, just like in poker game, every decision is crucial and important.
You owe it to yourself to take the time
to find out as much as possible concerning different
investments and their risks and long-term rate of returns
before making any decisions on your own or following
the advice of a financial advisor.
Read the articles in this section, go
to the library and check out "Value Line" or the "Wall
Street Journal," read books that discuss the basics
of investing by authors you trust and discuss your personal
finance needs with a qualified, fee-only, financial
planner. Talk with your attorney and accountant to get
their input concerning the best legal and tax moves
you should take to protect your assets.
Realize that, when it's all said and
done, every financial plan includes some element of
risk but to do nothing may be the riskiest plan of all.
