Made a great move selling stock when I did - but waited too long to buy back thus loosing some potential profit.

Find good company that work on renovable energy
By brokergirl16 on August 27, 2009 at 11:22 AM
It may be a little premature for renewable energy. Obahma has emphasised the need for renewable energy, however it will probably be on the back burner for a couple of years as we deal with the more pressing issues at hand. I advise my clients to invest in mutual funds that have some renewable energy stocks and bonds, in addtion to oil and natural resources. Hedge your bets if you are interested in trying to find a "hot spot".

I started investing on monday with sharebuilder! I put $300 dollars into their automatic investment plan to get started, and have it set to add $100 on the first tuesday of every month! I know it's not much money, but I just graduated college in December, and am very hesitant to throw money into the stock market in this economy! Good Luck Everyone!

No no no! You are buying in at a bargain and you are young enough to lose a little from time to time. Even when the market has rough years like we are in, the rule of thumb is that you will double your money every 7. Don't be afraid of the market, instead see the oppurtunity and scoop cheap shares!

I need to create more networks and friends if I desire to be successful in my Amway Business. Being a college student, it's pretty hard finding people who'll take you seriously. But as what I've learned, it's never an excuse.

solar is a new (since 2006 in France) industy, which presents advantages and long term return rates (8 to 10% per year for 20 years!!!), better than Madoff...

Woohoo! First step towards investing!
By HJHGold on July 22, 2009 at 08:02 AM
As a young college student, I want my online business to grow and be succesful as facebook.com and youtube.com! I'd also like to be able to invest the money I get from my website and what I already have so that it grows into the millions.

I have read most all of Robert Kiyosake's Rich Dad, Poor Dad series. It all makes sense to me. With the economy down I know this would be the perfect time to start investing (buy low, sell high), but the problem that I face is finding the money to invest in order to achieve my goals. This new year has brought more expenses into my household that are unavoidable.
So, I will continue to brainstorm on how I might recieve what I need to do the things that I want, and perhaps it will come to me.

We are partnering up to find properties. Are you familiar with the term "bird dog"? You get paid to find properties.

I haven't done real investing but recently discovered Jim Cramer of "Mad Money" on CNBC. I love his style as it seems to keep my interest on a subject about which I know little, and peaks my interest in seeing what I could do. Buy low, sell high is all I know. This market might be prime for that, yes? Jim seems to think there are stocks to profit from even in this questionable climate. Last night, he recommended this diversified portfolio: NAT, VZ, GXP (or GPX?), KMP and BMY. GXP is Great Plains Energy. They average about 7% yield (how does one look this up??), per Jim, all all solid companies and are low in price. His method is buying some, waiting for stock to go lower, buy a little more etc. I want to read one of his books to find out more. Anyone else watch Mad Money?

Hey is totally awesome and for real!!
By RokSlim on February 5, 2009 at 01:45 AM
Hey guys,
I'm a property investor/mentor and cisco networking engineer. I love the Rich Dad series, all will get you motivated enter property, I mean it really puts the fuel in the tank but then you have all the fuel and you ready to run - there is no guide. Like the stratedgies you need to first, especially when you don't have enough to start with!
Well any questions you may have about property you can always ask me here or mail me.
By Harmony313 on July 9, 2009 at 05:20 AM
Great day to you!! Recently was in the "Choose to Be Rich" class. We are forming a group to play the Cash Flow game on a regular basis. Also teaming up with a friend to find properties we can invest in. Would truly enjoy "picking" your brain. Have you invested in any properties?

I have just set up my investment with a lump sum of R1000 and a monthly debit order of R500. Feels good!
By pztrick on June 24, 2009 at 02:27 PM
Started investing in July of 2007 -- excellent timing, neh?
Plowing ahead.

I have watched the show a few times, but not religiously. Probably oughta, tho...

I've been playing in the penny stocks, and have had my 'you-know-what' handed to me...
Some education might be in order.
By redenfield7 on January 21, 2009 at 09:40 AM
I would like to to suggest the Rich Dad, Poor Dad series by Robert Kiyosake. His books are written in a way that most anyone can understand, and he infacizes financial education as a key to building wealth.
