The Challenges of Investing Today
If you are part of the 99% of Americans who are not part of the 1% that owns most of the wealth in this country, where should you put your money today? Do you continue to put money in mutual funds, stocks, bonds, annuities or simply stuff it in a mattress? Do you buy real estate, CD’s, Treasury Bills or move to precious metals like gold, silver and platinum? It is actually turning into a wait and see, frozen at the wheel kind of scenario depending on which way the US (and even the World) turns in these upcoming days, weeks and months.
If the rest of the world continues to see the US government as “out of control” spending money, printing new currency 24 hours a day, having an unreliable and unaccountable Congress using quantitative easing to fix the problem, with no new taxes, with middle class unemployment gaining momentum, then sadly, we may be facing deflation, stagnation and depression. On the other hand, the government keeps warning us in the press to beware of creeping inflation. Do what do we believe and what do we do?
Our suggestion at this point in time is to do the following:
- Find a certified financial planner who is completely independent and does not push or sell any products.
- Buy some of this person’s time and ask him to evaluate your portfolio and make some recommendations. This time, however listen carefully and ask questions.
- In the future avoid allowing any one to tell you how to invest or what to invest in, you should be responsible and you should make the decisions yourself after getting the detailed information necessary for you to compare and contrast products.
