Some things to avoid when investing must be considered
It's everywhere these days, in the news, on talk shows, on comedy talkies, and in numerous financial digests: the economy is in danger, unemployment is at an all time high, despite government "published" statistics, and people are losing twenty percent of their portfolios, or more every year. To compensate, the markets are rebounding and losses are lessening, but there is no real fix in sight. Printing money lessens its value, of course, and increases the economy killer, debt.
Even as the Federal Reserve (The Fed.) continues to print money to hold down the deficit and prevent a complete tanking of the US economy, other countries are growing wise to it and more and more nations that are not immediately dependent on the US dollar are beginning to pull away from it. Porter Stansberry has been saying for months that the US dollar as the world's reserve currency is coming to an end, and when it does the dollar will die, forcing the US into a final financial meltdown. There is an enormous amount of evidence that this is already happening, and time to adjust may be short.
Even if the US dollar dies, savvy investors can still profit by the shift in wealth this will create. There are stable, long-term investments that do not rely on a healthy dollar to thrive. In addition, as the US climbs out of whatever a collapse of the dollar will bring about, these long-term investments can be leveraged into other investments. It's probably true that investing in the stock market will never again be the same. Most likely we will see a shift to short-term leveraged investments and a focus on start-ups in essential niche sectors. As always an investor must be well educated and aware of trends, and this is more true than ever.
Because investments are such a personal endeavor, and risk has such inherent fears associated with it, investors must be prepared for every contingency. Educating ourselves is the single best way to do this, and understanding the secrets of the wealthy and how they got that way, and plan to remain that way is the best place to start. Investing can be done successfully, more now than ever, most likely. It simply requires knowledge, courage, a taste for risk, and a willingness to realize that time may be short.
Some things to avoid when investing must be considered. Avoid variable interest debt, and if you have a VI mortgage, refinance it to fixed. If the dollar crashes, the interest rate on a variable rate mortgage could skyrocket and force a rapid foreclosure. Do not use a credit card with a high interest rate to buy stocks or other investments. What you pay in interest will most likely be more than the return on your investment. Never invest in anything without properly researching the risks, potential returns, and health of the company or organization issuing the investment. In other words, be prepared and well educated!
Investing can be done in any age, any economy, good, bad, or dead, and with any amount of funds, and in any financial situation when one understands how to go about it. Educating ourselves is key, and understanding the risks involved before investing will limit potential losses. Putting one's faith in a national currency, however, dollar or other, is not likely the best of ideas.
