Long term, short term?

 

I try to keep it simple.  Set up an account and don't be a "day trader".  Buy good stuff, and let it sit.

 

That said, I think that the market is over bought right now, and I am not investing in anything other than rock solid stocks.

I have the means and opportunity to start building some investments/stocks etc.

Few questions.

Do I need a person to do this for me?

Do you have a recommendation?

Suggested reading?

 

Your key now is getting a diversified portfolio. Big cap, small cap, international, some bond, real estate, precious metals, commodities, dividend stocks. The only work you have to do is investigate the funds you want (your online broker should make this easy) and not putting too much in one bucket.

 

There are tons of books on building a diversified portfolio and they all pretty much say the same thing.

 

This is easy to do on your own and you can't really screw anything up too badly.

 

I think where you want to get a guy is for the niche markets. My uncle for example invests primarily is small regional banks. Once I am happy with my portfolio I will give him some money to invest because he has me beat for sure on knowlege of that industry.

 

If you play individual stocks keep it simple and read a lot. 

 

I have invested in NLY and Oil over the past two years as far as individual stocks and that is plenty.

My father is a broker, but i hardly pay attention to him when he talks about it. Last time i did a couple months ago he just said he had people buy stock in utilities because they were the safest. He also said Garmin is a good company he had people invest in.  You need to feel comfortable with your broker though, some people will just put you in stuff that makes them more money, but isn't necessarily the best for you. But i hardly know anything about these things so...

My biggest issue, as it was a limiting factor in the past but less so now, is the amount I have to throw into it every month. I have State pension plan going, but I hope to be leaving that in the next 2 years. So I figure if I can start something small now I will have a base to add to.

 

Does that make sense ?

Sure. With trading fees so low you can put a little away each month.

 

I would put a few months of living expenses in a low risk fund as your emergency cash if you haven't already. When you are happy with that you can branch out. Maybe start with a blue chip fund and go from there.

    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ    
    • I don't know. CMC is like others and may have lip serviced that line of " I had no plan or wanted to leave Carolina" I think he even said he bought a house too and wanted this to be home.   Here's what I heard- In a way Panthers org gave him a test and he didn't "fight" back. They approached CMC and told him they wanted to put him on IR since the "season" was over or out of playoff reach. CMC didn't fight it one lick and agreed. They secretly wanted him to kept playing or want to, but there was no kickback. I honestly don't know if its real or not, 5th hand information type deal doing on. Yes he had bruises and pains, but was able to play...... but went along with Panthers staff. Odd to be playing games with star players, but whatever....   Plus the staff doctors found out about his tendinitis and there was nothing to fix it. Even with him missing time, it was the best move to trade him before he got inflamed constantly.    Lastly, its mostly time a combo of stuff, Fitterererere did not sign him to be the highest paid RB. That was classic Marty "give me a" herniay doing. GMs have different values on roster spots and rumor was Fitterererer was one that didn't want to pay RBs. For all his faults, he's right about that......
