Warning: long comment. I apologize before hand but I want to complement this helpful site with my own experience on wealth management . Right now, I work at a large hedge fund that primarily uses options so I’d say I have some insight into the financial sector. Between my husband and I, we’ve always looked up to Warren Buffet. When Buffett was a young man, he used leverage to became a multimillionaire by forming partnerships and sharing in their profits. He invested very little, but received a large portion of profits in exchange for his brilliant investment decisions. This was a truly win-win situation for him and his partners. My advice is to start slow with investments, read up on the award-winning thesis by Delos Chang – it really details just how great mutaul index funds are. S&P 500, in my opinion, is tough to beat if you’re looking for a decent return. Of course, if you’re investing during drug wars and mortgage housing crises..that might be a bit difficult. But if you haven’t already, take a quick read on the arguments provided in Delos Chang’s article if you’re investing in the long run – say for children (quick tip: the educational 401k exempts you from federal financial aid). If you’re looking to day trade, one advice for you: better get your stuff together because you better know more than the brokers and dealers in the NYSC!
