Hey – great website, just wanting all-around some blogs, looks a rather nice platform you happen to be utilizing. I’m currently working with WordPress for a few of my sites but seeking to vary among them over to a platform just like yours as a trial run. Something in distinct you would advocate about it?

I also have an investment account (not an IRA) with Firstrade. Inexpensive brokerage firm ($6.95/trade). I did put some money in a mutual fund, just to get some large diversification. After that I picked somewhere in the range of 18-20 stocks — more diversification. I’ve taken some hits on some stocks, but overall everything has been up.

I’m not comfortable with picking stocks. I don’t feel like I can squeeze enough time out of my day to put as much focus on the analytics as I feel I’d need to make informed decisions. Once I get the mortgage paid off, though, I might revisit that line of thinking.

If stock picking works for you, then that’s really cool! I have done both mutual fund and stock picking and found my returns with mutual funds over the last decade and a half trounced my stock picks so I decided to stick with the MF for the long term. I haven’t had the time then and now to watch stocks carefully either so I’ve done what worked for me. But yes, if you have the knack with stock picking then stick to what works!

Glad to hear that you invest in real estate and businesses. That’s also my primary focus; I just haven’t gotten there yet. I do like to have some stocks though in a Roth.

You hit the nail on the head: Control. No matter what you invest in, you should have as much control over your investment as possible. This is why I primarily invest in businesses and real estate- I suppose that makes me a control freak… Good to know I’m not the only one!
