Anyone looking to invest for the first time look to see what motivates the person giving the advice. There is no best way to invest but there are some very bad ways. Let me list those I think are bad. 1. Leveraged assets 2. Penny stocks 3. Day trading 4. Sector funds in excess 5. Load funds 6. Too much of any investment. What do I like? 1. Well managed no load funds 2. No load low cost index funds 3. ETF’s “Once you understand the importance of doing your own homework, you’ll be ahead of 90% of your peers”
