How would you define a wealthy or a rich person?

Saturday, January 29th, 2011

Contrary to what would most believe, my personal definition of a wealthy or a rich person does not need to have cars, big houses, lots of money, influence with the community or even a lot of businesses. My definition is very simple. A wealthy person is the one that can finance himself “indefinitely” without having to go to work or depend on an employer. This financing may include paying his bills, paying dues as well as satisfying the basic needs of man which are as follows:

1.) Food

When to use cost averaging strategy in stocks trading investment?

Tuesday, January 18th, 2011

One of the best and easiest ways to invest stocks from an investor point of view is to use cost averaging strategy. Click here if you want to know how to compute cost averaging in stocks trading.

Actually like any forms of investing strategy, there is always an associated risk and this applies also to cost averaging strategy. An investor must know when to use cost averaging strategy when investing in stocks.

This is a short tip about everything I know about cost averaging and why you will use it:

1.) Use cost averaging strategy if you are a “passive investor”. A passive investor does not trade daily or use technical analysis tools like support and resistance, etc. A passive investor does not care about the trading technical news or even bothered with the hour to hour and day to day movement of stock price.

All the passive investor cares is to invest some capital in stocks and reap the profits a specified number of years after. You are not a passive investor if you trade daily or reap profits month after.

A passive investor does not have all the time to look at the stock related information and news. All the passive investor needs are the “guts” to start investing and some reasonable capital.
