With the world in recovery mode, many people are still questioning how the financial markets got so out of control. They are also questioning something a little closer to home; how to better look after their own money and finances.If we are being honest with ourselves, we would probably admit that we can improve on at least one of the following; long term investments, tax efficiency, actively reviewing our existing investments and looking at new...more
Getting back to even!! Boy...that has a nice ring to it! After suffering through the market’s near collapse in 2000, I thought I’d seen the worst of it. I’ll never forget...My broker at the time (long since fired) worked with a nationally known firm that will remain nameless. Most all of our retirement funds were placed in accounts bearing that company’s name; i.e., most everything was in house. I guess the...more
So it looks like we have avoided a 1930s style depression however the current forecasts still suggest slow growth and a difficult time ahead.

The streets (both Main and Wall, to abuse already tired metaphors) are filled with murmurs of both caution and hope, when it comes to real estate markets nationwide reaching the bottom of their tumble and starting to turn upward. Have we seen the bottom? Is it yet to come, perhaps this winter? Some schools of real estate investing thought contend that prices are low, making for a good time to buy. Others believe that the market may not have hit bottom yet, so they prefer to wait and see. What's the right answer?The fact is, it doesn't matter whether the real estate market has reached the bottom, or whether it has a few more points to drop.

What that means is that the bottom will have come and gone by the time anyone even knows it happened!Trying to time the market (in an exact sense) is a fool's game. The entire point of timing the market is to buy low and sell high, which may sound elementary, but too many investors lose sight of this...more
